Seaside Gears Up for Miss Oregon Pageant

It’s more than just a day at the beach – it’s that time once again for the Miss Oregon Scholarship Program held June 24 – July 2, 2011. This year Seaside and the North Coast will celebrate their 65th year of hosting the pageant. The Miss Oregon Scholarship Program prides itself in empowering Oregon’s women throughout the years to achieve their personal and professional goals. Not only does the program offer training and recognition to 22 Miss Contestants (ages 17 to 24),  but it also encompasses 19 Miss Teens (ages 13 to 16). During the weeklong event the stage is also shared by 22 Princesses (ages 6 to 12) that steal the audience’s hearts. In the past 22 years the Miss Oregon Scholarship Program has offered over $1,500,000.00 in cash and/or in-kind tuition scholarships to young ladies that participate in this incredible program.

Miss Oregon Scholarship is a total nonprofit volunteer-based endeavor. Hours and hours of energy are put in throughout the year. An Executive Director, Board of Directors, Committee chair people, and hundreds of volunteers not only come from the North Coast, but from throughout the State of Oregon. Numerous local pageants take place all over the state during the year preparing young women for state competition. The winner of the Miss Oregon Scholarship Program competes at the national level and becomes the state representative in the Miss America Pageant. As a volunteer with the Miss Oregon Scholarship Program for 40+ years and current President of the State Organization I am proud to be a part of this outstanding program that truly does make a difference in strengthening the lives of young women.

Volunteers, family and friends come to the North Coast year after year supporting the program. Falling in love with our coastal community, many decide to purchase a beach home or condo of their own instead of looking for hotel lodging each year  – an excellent opportunity.  Whether it is owning a home, beach cottage, or a condominium (see my listing below) that can be rented out the rest of the year, you’re sure to find plenty of choices to suit your taste and budget. This is an excellent time to think about having your own place at the beach in Seaside, Oregon! - Sue Pickell, Broker
