The Toombs County Forestry pageant was held Saturday, March 8th at the Blue Marquee in Lyons. Rachel Hendrix was crowned the 2008 Miss Toombs County Forestry Queen. Rachel attends Robert Toombs Christian Academy. She is the 17 year old daughter of David and Cindy Hendrix of Vidalia. Laura will receive a scholarship to the school of her choice at the end of her reign next March.
Rachel’s sister queens are as follows: Teen Miss – Keri Lynn Knight, daughter of Vance and Sheryl Knight; Junior Miss – Mackenzie Wilkerson, daughter of Mike and Mollie Hubert; Little Miss – Maggie Wright, daughter of Rusty & Michelle Wright; Tiny Miss – Cealy Shiver, daughter of Chris and Stephanie Shiver; Teeny Miss – Ana Watts, daughter of Jimmy and Stephanie Watts; Baby Miss – Marley Palma, daughter of Michael and Janie Palma. The director’s award was presented to Kaitlyn Wilch and her mother Leanne Manning for devoting countless hours and effort toward promoting Forestry and raising our Scholarship to $500.00. This $500.00 scholarship was presented to Laura Johnson, our 2007 queen to continue her education at Georgia Southern University. She plans to Graduate in 2008 and will pursue a career in teaching.
Randy Mosley, chief Forest Ranger, opened by welcoming everyone to the annual pageant. Our 2007 queens Laura, LeighAnna, Kaitlyn, and Jayla all entertained the crown by dancing just before relinquishing their titles to the new queens. Sassy Sisters Dance Studio also was a part of the entertainment for the afternoon. Thank you to our Judges were Lydia Luke, Arther Eld, and Elaine Black, they did a wonderful job, and also to my auditors, Lydia & Leah!!The Gift Box in Lyons donated our new queens’ roses, and also decorated our wonderful stage. Special thanks to our pageant committee, Laura Johnson, Leanne Manning, Kaitlyn Wilch, Kim Hilton, Brian & Debbie Turnbull, and Bruce & Elaine Conner, for without you, this pageant would not have been so successful.
Queens will make appearances throughout the year promoting Forestry - Georgia’s number one Industry. They will travel to Tifton in June to represent Toombs County in the Georgia Forestry Pageant. Ana and Cealy will compete on Friday, June 13th, Maggie and Mackenzie will compete on Saturday, June 14th. These girls will only have to compete onstage for their competition. However, Rachel and Keri Lynn have several things on their agenda for the next week. They will go on a Tree Farm tour, Georgia Agirama Tour, have dinner with Tifton City officials, ride in a Motorcade thru Tifton, attend a Formal Ball, a private speech and interview session with each of the 5 judges and then they will be escorted by limo to the finale, onstage competition on Saturday, June 21st.
A send-off party will be held in honor of queens at 5pm on Saturday, May 24th. All friends, family, & community are invited to attend. Please RSVP by May 15th.
The Toombs County Forestry Pageant is a non-profit educational organization and is in need of sponsors to support queens throughout the year and to help pay state entry fees.
