Dear Assignment Editor,
Subject: Little Miss Surrey Hydrangea Blossom Festival Contest August 17th and the 5th Annual Surrey Hydrangea Blossom Festival - Canada's only all-floral parade August 25th in Cloverdale
We are currently preparing for the Little Miss Hydrangea Contest. We have had an overwhelming response from the community with over 60 girls wanting to compete in the competition for the title of Little Miss Hydrangea. We would like the opportunity to do an interview for your news team featuring the Royal Party.
Please print for immediate release:
The Festival is looking for four goodwill ambassadors who will enjoy public appearances and speaking on the Festivals behalf. The contestants will be judged on self-confidence, poise, and their ability to speak. Girls, between the ages of 5 -10 yrs. of age, interested in competing for the position of the Surrey Hydrangea Blossom Festival Queen and Princesses, must register by July 15th. Please call 604 - 202 - 2053 for registration information or online at www.fraservalleybc.com/hydrangeafestival. The pre-judging events will begin July 16th and semi-finalists named by July 20th. The contest date is August 17th being held at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre at 7 p.m. Tickets available through the Festival call 604 - 202 - 2053.
