I have participated in some capacity for the past few years at the Southland Nursing Home's Annual Beauty Pageant. For two years, I have served as a judge along with 5 other local community members.

It is a moving experience to watch all the lovely ladies vie for the crown. The community support for this fun event always impresses me. Local hair stylists and make-up artists, florists, trophy and frame shops, and many others too numerous to name all donate their time, talents and products to make the event a success.

The event is open to the public each year and is well attended - if you enjoy going to something that makes your heart feel good, watch for this event next year!
