The 3rd annual Miss Fountain City Pageant will take place on Sunday, November 11th at Prattville High School. This wonderful scholarship opportunity is available to young ladies who live, work or go to school full -time in Autauga County. If the contestant is away a college, her parents must currently reside in Autauga County to be eligible. Applications are available online or by calling the number listed below.

The Pageant Committee has announced that they are currently recruiting new sponsors for this year's event. Last year, they collected over $5,000 in cash scholarships from local business leaders. Every contestant was offered a minimum scholarship just for competing in the program. The winner, Raquel Martin, earned over $2,000 in college scholarships for her participation.

The committee is also searching for new prize donors. Over 100 sponsorship requests have been sent out to area businesses, asking for prize donations. When Miss Fountain City is preparing for her trip to Miss Alabama, she is using her own resources over and above what is donated. That means her own car, oil changes and gasoline, her own wardrobe, manicures, pedicures, accessories, even the things she needs for her room, during her week stay at Miss Alabama. Gift cards to local merchants are needed and appreciated.

If you know of a business who would like to make a donation, please call the Special Events office at 358-0297 or visit http://www.missfountaincity.com/ for more information.
