The Crowning
of Miss Mum will
be held Friday
September 26th, 2008, 7pm at
Bristol Central High School
Kalee Brunelle, Miss Mum 2007
will be giving up her title that evening. |
The
Crowning of Miss Mum is open to all Bristol, Forestville, Wolcott, Terryville and Burlington girls
who are between the ages of 15 and 17 years old as of the night of the crowning. The first 15
applications received will be accepted. Miss Mum 2008 appears at all of the Mum Festival activities as a
Mum Hostess. She also makes appearances throughout the year at Bristol activities such as the Home Show, &
local parades. Upon receiving their application and required birth certificate, we send out to them - a
rehearsal schedule, with approx 5 rehearsals with a local choreographer. Rehearsals are for the opening
number and also instructions on walking the walk and talking the talk. They are also given a fact sheet.
This sheet is what we call "All About Me" These are the questions we ask them when they are interviewed on
stage. Questions like - nickname - how they got it, age grade, siblings, interests, future goals and a
little something that we did not ask about that they would like to share with us. Talking about themselves
makes them a little more relaxed on stage. You show me a teenager
that is not interested talking about themselves! Also, more questions - favorite dinner place, etc. They
are given an essay question to work on - and to be completed 1 week prior to the crowning. This usually
has something to do with the Mum Festivals Theme. This year the theme is "Mum Festival Showcases '47' Years".
We have had local educators judging these essays. Essays will not have the girls names on them. A savings
bond is given out to the winner and the essay is also read the night of the crowing by the winner. Miss
Mum, 1st & 2nd runners-up will receive Savings Bonds, which are donated by local business. Talent,
swimsuit or evening gown are NOT a part of this event. The dress should be something that you would wear
out to a special dinner with your family, knee length. No Gowns or strapless.
