TOPSFIELD, Mass. (September 14, 2015) – The Mrs. Essex County Pageant will crown the 45th Mrs. Essex County at this year’s Topsfield Fair
http://www.topsfieldfair.org/ . Through the years, hundreds of women
have entered the contest for the honor of representing the Essex
Agricultural Society at local events and serving as hostess of the
Topsfield Fair. Not a beauty competition, the Mrs. Essex County Pageant
invites entries of married women living with their husband in Essex
County, over the age of 18, with general appearance, poise, outgoing
personality, and spirit of volunteerism. Contestants also submit a
homemade food item – favorite chocolate dessert – for judging.
The pageant’s unwavering mission through the decades has been to
celebrate the role of the contemporary, married woman who exemplifies a
multi-faceted commitment to family, work, community, as well as herself.
This year’s pageant will be held in Coolidge Hall on the Topsfield
Fairgrounds on Sunday, October 11th at 2:00pm. Applications can be
downloaded from the Exhibitor’s Handbook found at
www.topsfieldfair.org/exhibitorhandbook. Entry deadline is Thursday,
October 8th at 10:00 p.m. For more information, contact pageant
coordinator at 978-683-3256.
