Dixie State College's Annual Homecoming Queen Pageant Set for Tonight

Dixie State College of Utah will present its annual Homecoming Queen Pageant, as part of the school's week-long Homecoming festivities, this Tuesday night, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m., in the Cox Auditorium on the DSC campus. This year's pageant theme is "One Night Only" with tickets available for $8 per person, $5 for students and faculty and staff with current DSC ID, at the Avenna Center Ticket Office.

Contestants will not only be competing for the title of "Miss Dixie State College," but also for a $1,500 scholarship and an opportunity to compete at the 2009 Miss Utah Pageant next June. The pageant hopefuls will be judged in physical fitness/swimwear, evening wear and talent areas of the competition, along with the customary onstage question and personal interview portions of the event. 

Seven DSC students will vie for the crown, including Samantha Brinkerhoff, a freshman communication major from Ogden, Utah; Samantha Cummings, a freshman fine arts major originally from Laguna Beach, Calif.; Amber Finlinson, a sophomore elementary education major from St. George; Jennifer Jentzsch, a freshman general studies major from St. George; Shannon Johnson, a freshman communication major from Ogden, Utah; Natasha La Vu, a freshman communication from Salt Lake City; and Lacey Timothy, a junior nursing major from Price, Utah.
