The Miss Bay County Organization is proud to announce Ashley LaForest will be competing against 23 contestants from around Michigan to take the title of Miss Michigan 2009.
Miss Michigan Competition to be held June 17-20 at Frauenthal Theater in Downtown Muskegon.
Linda Bilhimer, Executive Director of the Miss Bay County Scholarship Program is impressed with the caliber of this year's contestants.
"We are very pleased with the number of intelligent, ambitious and talented young women who have entered the competition," Bilhimer said. "With the number of outstanding contestants, it will be a challenging task for the judges to choose the next Miss Michigan. "I'm so proud of Ashley and all of her accomplishments." Ashley is a student at Delta Community College majoring for plans to be a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer.
Contestants will compete in 5 phases of competition at the competition, including interview, talent, evening wear, on-stage platform question and swim wear. During the competition, each contestant will also discuss her chosen platform, a social or community issue of concern to herself and our society at large. Ashlie's Platform is Cancer Research and Early Detection. For Ashley's talent she will be doing a Lyrical Dance.
In order for a young woman to compete in the Miss Michigan Program, they must have won a local program. Currently, the Miss Michigan Program has 24 local programs that send contestants to the state program, and Michigan sends one of our finest ladies to Vegas to compete for the Miss America Organization, where over $40 Million dollars in cash scholarships are made available to the 52 state title holders.
Parents of Ashley are Tracie & Paul Webb and Jerome & Peggy LaForest of Bay City.
During the week of Miss Michigan Events, we have Shelby Avery representing us in the Michigan Outstanding Teen Pageant. Shelby is the daughter of Denise and Mike Avery. Michigan Outstanding Teen Competition is June 17-19.
