Miss Jackson County RoseQueen apps due April 1

This year's Miss Jackson County RoseQueen Scholarship Pageant will take place Saturday, Aug. 8, at Western High School. The Jackson County RoseQueen pageant is considered one of the largest pageants in the nation, providing candidates with thousands of dollars in scholarships and prizes each year. "Currently in its 56th year, the pageant is a wonderful opportunity for the young women of Jackson County to not only win educational scholarships, but the experience gained from interacting with our community and its members will provide them with skills that will last a life time. Our goal is to build strong female leaders in the Jackson Community," states Lynda Waldron, Executive Director of the Jackson County RoseQueen Pageant. Young women ages 17 to 25 vie for the RoseQueen designation and the opportunity to compete at the state level at Miss Michigan USA. RoseQueen applications are due April 1, 2015 and preliminary competition will be held on April 11, 2015 at the Michigan Center High School Auditorium.
