Sparkling young ladies with dazzling smiles turned out to compete in the Miss North Thompson Fall Fair 2005 Pageant held on Aug. 27 at the Barriere Elementary
School. They danced, performed an individual talent, were presented in evening gowns, and answered impromptu questions for eight judges and a large audience
who attended the event.

The retiringQueen and Princess performed ” G r e a s e d Lightning”, a fast moving dance well-choreographed by Princess Holly-Rose Vesper.
All of the candidates shared the stage for “Rock and Roll Music” which got the audience tapping their toes to the beat.
During the talent portion of the competition innovative candidates played an electric guitar, styled a quick hairdo, drew a fast art poster, told a story about a dragon with a
princess, performed a comedy skit, and rock and rolled with a mannequin.
Eight BC towns sent their royalty to attend the event and Miss BC Ambassador was also in attendance. Miss Tenzer Enterprises Dani Noble received a $500
