The Miss Groveland Pageant is Back!
The city council recently approved the usage of the Miss Groveland name to be used by Lynn Blair owner of Miss Lake County Pageant, Inc. When asked why Ms. Blair was interested in resurrecting the old pageant she stated “I have lived in Lake County my entire life and it saddens me that the small hometown pageants have basically fallen by the way side. I want to bring back the enthusiasm and feeling of honor for these girls who represent their hometown. I want to teach these young girls 1) respect for themselves 2) respect for their community 3) to give back rather than to always expect to receive.” The winner of the Miss Groveland Pageant will represent the City at events such as 3rd Annual South Lake 4th of July Celebration and the Christmas Parade. read more
