A Day at the Fair!

Clowns, carnival rides and ice cream cones were all the rage at the Gold Country Fair this year. Featured during the Opening Ceremonies, was Talent Celebrity, Tessa, (Left) who sang the national anthem while crowds of onlookers saluted and members of the National Guard stood at attention. The four day long fair also offered many kids games and contests.

In the
Easter Spirit!

Auburn Royalty lent a helping hand to the
Easter Bunny and to the Meadow Vista Lions Club
at their annual Easter Egg Hunt at Placer Hills Park.

Hundreds of local children came out to hunt for eggs,
receive prizes and to chat with the Easter Bunny.

Pictured here are:

Titleholders were on hand to help sell raffle tickets at the Annual Celebrity Chefs Dinner, a fundraiser put on by the Lions Club.

Miss Auburn Attends
Sports/Hobbies Faire
At E.V. Cain School

Miss Auburn, Casey,
spent an afternoon sharing the benefits
of pageantry with Junior High School Students at E.V. Cain.
Students were pleasantly surprised at how approachable and easy
to talk to she was. Intrigued by the prizes one could win as queen,
a few were a little disappointed that the stones in the crown were not real.

Donning their GREEN colors and St. Patrick's Day spirit, ladies from the Young, Junior, Teen, Miss and even Mrs. Auburn Pageants rode on a float in Auburn's parade. Irish or not, you could not help but have fun in this short, but sweet parade!

Even baby Fallyn was in the Irish spirit!

Ladies from the Auburn Royal Courts recently attended a meeting of the Auburn Optimist Club, where they thanked the club for their scholarship sponsorship. Each one of the ladies in attendance, stood before the club, gave a brief bio of themselves, and spoke on their various platforms that they are promoting throughout their reigns.
