| Melissa was crowned the l7th MWC
Colorado on April l4th, 2007, with festivities at the Westminster
Senior Center. The event began with a classic car show (one of our
annual fundraisers), with over l00 drivers and navigators showing up
to participate and display their cars. Cruisin' Dave entertained
throughout the day, the drivers were treated to coffee and donuts,
and their $20.00 entry fee covered lunch, dinner and entry to the
pageant. The three contestants participated in an
afternoon workshop, having their hair and makeup done and a photograph
session. Later on in the evening they gave
their prepared speeches, answered questions by the judges, enjoyed a
great dinner and an evening with Endre Samu (Elvis), and Lori Muha
(Shelvis). Over 300 people were in attendance, and a great time was
had by all. |
