Poultry Days 2018
Applications accepted
for 2018 Miss Chick Pageant
Versailles Poultry Days, Inc. is pleased to announce we are now
accepting applications for the 2018 Miss Chick Pageant. The contest,
sponsored by Versailles Savings and Loan and Versailles Poultry Days,
Inc., will take place June 8 & 9, 2018 beginning with personal
interviews at noon on Friday the 8th and the onstage interview
beginning at 2 PM on Saturday the 9th in the old VHS High School
Gymnasium located at 459 S. Center Street.
After 66 years of celebrating vibrant, dynamic young women as part of
the Poultry Days Festival, the Miss Chick pageant has earned its place
as a rich community tradition. Members of the Miss Chick court promote
the festival throughout their reign acting as ambassadors to the
Ultimate Frisbee community that participates in the tournament held in
conjunction with the festival and at several other local festivals.
The court also participates in philanthropic events that raise funds
for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Wounded Warrior Project,
and/or conducts events like Confident Chicks Night; a program created
to inspire and uplift young women.
In addition to the honor of representing Poultry Days during their
reign, the chosen Miss Chick will receive flowers, a plaque, crown and
$1000.00 for herself; First Runner-up will receive flowers, a plaque,
and $400.00 for herself; and Second Runner-up will receive flowers, a
plaque, and $200.00 for herself.
