Miss Mermaid Contest
Oyez! Oyez! All fair maids!
Take a chance and be crowned Miss
Mermaid 2008. Our 2007 winner will be on
hand to uphold her title.
The rules:
Any maid or matron - or (guys) if you
attempt to look like one - may enter.
Be aware that mermaids, being magical
creatures, may be seen on land with actual
legs! Therefore, a tail is not a requirement.
Please be adorned in some manner that will
make the judges think,"Huh..a mermaid
might wear that."
Baroness Kateryn and Mistress Tatiana so
enjoyed last year, they again will be our judges.
Miss Mermaid will be Royalty for the day and
be seated with her Champion at Feast.
