Local Queens Volunteer to Help Our Troops
On Saturday, July 16, 2005, 3 Local Queens did some volunteer work for our Troops. They visited the North Carolina Branch of "Give 2 the Troops" in Greenville. Their website is give2thetroops.org and the NC Branch is located in the Old Goodwill building on Landmark street in Greenville. The "queens" collected items and $25 and presented them to Mrs. Barbara Whitehead. The girls then sorted the items, packed boxes and wrote letters to the troops. Chaperones Steve Benson (ACF Chairperson) and Michele Whaley (Secretary) were on hand to help also and they said this might be a good thing for the festival to offer this year. Plans are in the works to do something for our Troops this year and more info will be forthcoming soon.
The "Queens" are Tiny Miss Ayden Collard Queen Cayce Bowen ( in purple shirt), Little Miss Ayden Collard Queen Victoria Boseman ( in pink plaid shirt) and Little Miss Princess of Pitt County Taylor Whaley ( in blue with stars).
