The Little Miss Watauga Valley Pageant to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network is on tap for Sunday.

The fundraising pageant will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday in the auditorium at T.A. Dugger Jr. High School. Doors will open for seating at 2:30 p.m. and admission for non-contestants is $5.

The pageant will feature contestants from infants through adults divided into the following age groups with the listed titles:

• 0-11 months – Baby Watauga Valley Princess

This fundraising pageant is not a part of the Miss America System, for which Miss Watauga Valley is an

official preliminary, but winners may be invited to participate in some activities at the discretion of the Miss Watauga Valley pageant directors.

All proceeds from the pageant will go to the Children’s Miracle Network and will remain with the local CMN program in the Tri-Cities. CMN is a non-profit organization operating in the United States and Canada that raises funds for children’s hospitals, medical research, and community awareness of children’s health issues. There are five CMN hospitals in Tennessee, with one of those being Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport.
