The officers and directors of the

Cedar Valley Vigilantes

Proudly presents the

WESTERN COSTUME PAGEANT    

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. 14 -- 7:00 PM

at the LUCKY LADY DANCEHALL

 

This year, with the addition of our new building, “Lucky Lady Dancehall,” we’re able to take western costuming to an entirely new level. This will no longer be a simple “costume contest.” It will be a stage performance similar to a glitzy fashion show or beauty pageant. Each contestant will be asked to go on stage. Then, as our pianist plays western music and our narrator describes your costume, we’ll ask you to walk an elevated walkway that takes you past the panel of judges. You’ll then turn and return to stage.

 

12 CATEGORIES: 1. Junior Cowgirl— 2. Junior Cowboy—3. Ladies Victorian—4. Gentleman's Victorian—5. Ladies of the Night—6. Military—7. Silver Screen Cowgirl – 8. Silver Screen Cowboy—9. Couples Formal—10. Classic (working) Cowgirl –  11. Classic (working) Cowboy – 12. Judges choice

 

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

1. When you register on Fri. morning, pick up costume pageant sign-up sheets at registration building.

2. Sometime during the day, fill out all questions on the form—describing costume (clear and easy to read).

3. Around 4:00 or 5:00, dress in costume, go to Lucky Lady Dancehall and register with Melanie (coordinator).

4. When called, proceed to registration building for private interview with judges.

5. When pageant starts (around 6:00) wait for your category's) to be announced. When category is called, go to piano area near stage. 

6. When summoned onstage, hand your entry form to coordinator and walk to center stage. As coordinator describes details of your costume, walk to the end of catwalk for final review by judges. Pause, turn and return to stage and exit on North end of stage.

 

DEADLINE for entering will be approx. 6:00 PM Fri. night. Winners will be announced at the banquet on Sat. evening.

 

CLASSIC (working class) will be judged on the range, Sat. afternoon. You do not have to register to enter this category.

 

JUDGES CHOICE is a “Stand Out” costume of no special category that catches judges eye. This will be selected either day and registration is not necessary.
