The Vernon Parish 4-H Program held its annual Miss Vernon 4-H Pageant Saturday, April 13, at the Fairgrounds Auditorium in Leesville.   Nearly 40 young ladies from all over the parish competed in elementary, junior, and senior divisions.  The ladies were interviewed and judged by out-of-the-area friends of the 4-H program.  The winners will represent the Vernon Parish 4-H program at numerous community and club activities for the next year.  They are Ambassadors of the Vernon Parish 4-H Program.

The People’s Choice Awards voting resulted in nearly $3,000 worth of donations from families and friends. That money will be used primarily in the 4-H Backpack Project, which feeds at-risk students in the area.
