On September 10 at the Prairie Trail School in Wadsworth, we were treated to the 2017 Wadsworth Area Pageant.  And what a pageant it was.  Seven brave and focused young women entered the event to showcase their maturity and talent to compete for three crowns. They couldn't all win, but they are all winners to us.  Below, we present their names and photos. Congratulations to them all. 

  

These  young women, referred to as the Wadsworth Queens, work tirelessly throughout the year to represent the village.  Last year they participated in a whopping 21 events.  The last paragraph of this newsletter names the 2016 Queens along with a list of their contributions to our community.  They are truly a special asset for us all.
