13 contestants are competing in the Miss Saline Scholarship Pageant from 1-3 p.m., Saturday, during Summerfest in downtown Saline.
The pageant takes place on the stage in the parking lot behind Benny's Bakery.
The contestants interviewed with the judges earlier this week. The judges are Mayor Brian Marl, Julie Picknell, Jeffrey McLaughlin and former Miss Saline Brittany Bryant.
The pageant has been in the community since 1948, providing scholarships to young women and providing the community with ambassadors at local events.
This year's contestants are Sophia Bauman, Mackenzie Tikkanen, Amethyst Browning, Evelyn Goerlitz, Sarah Yousif, Grace Warren, Laney Miller, Carson Caldwell, Kendal Mickey, Katie Booher, Haley Brown, Kelsey Altevogt and Alexandra Ulery.
Cloudy , with a high of 86 and low of 61 degrees. Mist during the morning, sunny in the afternoon, mist overnight.
Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
Sometimes I feel like the some members of the board views this more as a corporation than a community. I understand that Saline Schools are large, but when everything is approached with a big-business, corporate mindset, it starts to lose that sense of connection.
