Bass Lake Property Owners Association buildingThe Bass Lake Festival Pageant will kick off today, with the Little Miss/Mister contest starting at 4 p.m. followed by the Miss Bass Lake contest at 6 p.m. The pageants will take place at the Bass Lake Property Owner’s Association building, and Dana White, pageant coordinator, said she’s excited to start her third year coordinating the pageant, which has been a staple of the Bass Lake community since 1926.
This year, however, will be a little smaller than years past. White said five teenagers will vie for the title of Miss Bass Lake, while three girls and two boys will compete for the Little Miss and Little Mister titles. Last year, White said seven teenagers competed, with 11 girls and six boys as well.
The Bass Lake Summer Splash Festival is the last week in July, but before the big event, a queen and court needs to be selected. Queen Pageant Director, Dana White, reports that seven young ladies between the ages of 14 and 18 are competing for the tiara.
