Contestants will complete three brief essays on:
• If you were to support a special cause or offer to volunteer for a special organization, which would it be and why?
• Describe three characteristics that make you who and what you are today.
• What would it mean to you personally and to the Ada community if you were crowned the 2016 Harvest and Herb Festival queen?
Girls with questions may contact Arlene Allison at Ada elementary school.
