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 14 and 17 years old as of the night of the crowning (September 26th,
2008). The first 15 applications received will be accepted. Miss Mum 2008 will appear at all of the Mum
Festival activities as the Hostess of the Bristol Mum Festival. She also makes appearances throughout the
year at Bristol activities such as the Home Show, & local parades. Upon receipt of an application, an
e-mail will be sent to the contestants. There will be a meeting with all contestants and at least one
parent and/or guardian (a date yet to be set). At this time contestants will receive a rehearsal schedule,
with approx 5 rehearsals with a local choreographer. Rehearsals are for the opening number and also
instructions on walking in formal wear, appearance wear and the correct way to sit and speak during your
on-stage interview. 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. There are
usually no surprises! 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 gift card 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 also receive gift cards, which are donated by local individuals and businesses. Talent,
swimsuit and evening gown are NOT a part of this event. The dress should be something age appropriate that
is you would wear out to a special dinner with your family, knee length.
