The Miss Saline pageant returns this weekend.
Nine contestants will compete for $2,750 in scholarships. The event, which was traditionally held in conjunction with the Saline Community Fair, is returning under new management after a one-year hiatus. It is being organized by Kim Bryant and Molly Coy.
The contestants are Amanda Lin, Ava Ignacio, Avery McLelland, Jalina Griffin, Josie Sellenraad, Maya Abdallah, Maya Scott, Olivia Helmer and Sayoni Bandyopadhyay.
The pageant is being held at the Rentschler Farm Museum under a big tree from 2-4 p.m., Saturday. It is closed to the public due to concerns about COVID-19.
Miss Saline 2020 will receive a $2,000 scholarship and the runners-up will receive scholarships of $500 and $250. The winner will be crowned by Miss Saline 2018, Brittany Bryant, who co-hosts the event with Miss Saline 2017 Amanda Coy.

Nice idea. Thank you to the kids who support this. Seems a bit of diversity in the make-up of the kids leading the group would go a long way to making "everyone" feel welcome. Sadly, not seeing it, at least in what is presented here.
Awful, racist perspective. There is nothing wrong with the "make-up" of these four kids.
Sunny, with a high of 68 and low of 31 degrees. Sunny for the morning, clear for the afternoon and evening,
As we noticed the rapid deterioration and indentation of the road from all of this truck traffic, which presumably will only get worse as the weather and road surface gets warmer, we have wondered just who is responsible for the cost to repair/replace these roads?
Did anyone ask the nearby residents if they want a party palace in their neighborhood? Traffic, parking, crowds, trash, noise: was any of this considered when making this decision?
The organizers are required to submit an application to the City of Saline for this event. If you wish to provide input, comments can be sent to the City Clerk or made in person at anytime or more specifically when their application appears on the council agenda.
So the senior citizens and the kids that decided not to go to work are doing what? Protesting what? Are they updet that KAMALA was REJECTED? Then let them have FREE CHEESE.
You are so easily triggered you ancient snowflake. Calm down. Get off the internet, stop listening to podcasts. Go touch grass. Your king lied to you, that’s very obvious at this point. Now, you just seem to be lying to yourself.
Tom you sound like your disillusioned by the liberal media are you admiting that your "wrong" I sense anger in your statement? What is it that you are AFRAID of? Is VOTE ID against your parties wish LIST?
Enjoy the senior parade!
In 1845 there was a flour mill, a dam and tailrace . It was placed on the National Historic Register as Schuyler Mills Historic District. This 13-acre historic district is now a well known landmark representing an era we will never see again..
