For as many years as
the North East Firemen's Cherry Festival has been in existence, there
has been one tradition that has never changed. For 65 years, every
Thursday night of the festival, a queen is crowned. The process begins
in the North East High School, where the graduating senior class selects
10 people they believe would be model representatives of the North East
Fire Department Cherry Festival. Following the nominations, candidates
are put through an interview process with a panel of judges. This panel
narrows the group down to the 5 that are seen on stage Thursday night.
Afterwards, one more interview takes place, along with multiple
promotional photographs and a dinner for the candidates and their
escorts. They are then picked up and taken for a limo ride for
additional photographs, before being escorted to the stage on Thursday
night for the crowning at 6:30 PM. Please enjoy a scrolling picture show to the right showcasing the candidates on the Thursday night crowning ceremony. The 2010 Candidates (as soon as we have them available to us), will be placed in a "scrolling" box to the left of this text. The candidates are currently being selected by the senior class of North East High School. Please check back soon for updates and an all new "bio bits" section. |
