The Miss Bagelfest royalty is scheduled to be crowned on Tuesday, July 16, during the opening night of this 34th annual festival.
The Little Miss Bagelfest pageant (ages 5-7) is scheduled to be held from 6 to 7 p.m., followed by the Preteen (8-10), Junior Miss (11-14) and Miss Teen (1517) pageants at 7:30 p.m. at Williams Elementary School, 1709 S. Ninth St. Participation is open to preregistered youths from the Mattoon School District.
During the pageant, Little Miss contestants individually answer questions in front of the judges and join together to sign a song or perform a dance. The older contestants give themed presentations and also team up for a performance.
In addition, the Mattoon Exchange Club will once again present its annual Book of Deeds honor for community service at 5:45 p.m. just prior to the Little Miss Bagelfest pageant.
Members of the Miss Bagelfest court and the Book of Deeds honoree will be featured in the Bagelfest parade that will start at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, July 20.
