Young girls, from infants to teenagers, took the floor during the Miss Appomattox Golden Girl Pageant that was held Saturday at the Appomattox Community Center.

Dressed up in fashionable clothing and making their best personal impressions, the girls walked, posed and twirled in front of friends and families as well as a panel of Judges. The youngest participants needed a little assistance from their parents, and some were adorably shy, but all made the event memorable in their own way.

Most girls were participating in their first or second pageant but some were a bit more experienced, according to Carolina Case, the event’s director and master of ceremonies.

The majority were from the local area but a few were from out of town because the pageant is open to non-local contestants.

Age groups were divided into Baby Miss (0-23 months), Tiny Miss (2-3), Little Miss (4-5), Junior Miss (6-8), Pre-Teen Miss (9-11), Teen Miss (12-14) and Miss(15-19).

The girls were judged on various categories such as clothing, personality, eyes, photogenic, and more. All the girls received gifts or ribbons.

The three fashion categories were Gowns, Outfit of Choice, and T-Shirts and Denim.
