On April 24th I attended the annual Miss Osoyoos Speech night and Auction Fundraiser. This event was held at Troy's Grill and featured the 2015 Miss Osoyoos Royalty Program Candidates present a speech on the topic of their choice.
Tianna - Miss Buy-Low Foods Osoyoos gave a speech about reading and books.
Bailey - Miss Osoyoos Elks Lodge #436 gave a speech about her participation in Women's Soccer and she even spoke to us about her excitement in regards to Canada hosting the 2015 FIFA Women's Cup.
We also saw each candidate present a 1 minute presentation showcasing the best parts of Osoyoos. Two of the ladies wrote original poems & one created a Rap to the theme from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song.
After the judged portion of the evening had ended it was time for the Auction Fundraiser. First up were 3 cakes that were made and decorated by each Miss Osoyoos 2015 Candidate.
Next up was the flower center piece auction, where the reigning royalty joined the candidates to display the flowers as they went up for Auction and to hand deliver them to the winners after they were purchased.
The two most expensive floral arrangements [it was a tie] sold for $35.00 each. I counted roughly 10 arrangements and I estimated a total Flower sale of over $250 going towards the 2015 Osoyoos Royalty travel fund. The last portion of the evening was another Auction sale as the reigning 2014 Osoyoos Royalty Team baked cupcakes that were put up for Auction.
I counted roughly 14 plates of cupcakes were put up for Auction with the most expensive plate selling for $15 and all together the cupcakes accumulated roughly another $125 dollars going into the travel fund. So all in all it was an incredibly successful event that made a lot of Money to go towards the travel expenses of the 2015 Team.
At the end of the evening I was presented with a beautiful floral arrangement that was given to me by my good family Friend Lloyd who also happens to be a Elks Lodge member & a HUGE Osoyoos Coyotes Hockey fan :) I was extremely happy because he bought me a truly gorgeous display.
I want to commend the Osoyoos Royalty Program for putting on such a successful public event. I also want to congratulate the 2015 Miss Osoyoos Candidates for making it this far in the program. As a Miss Osoyoos Candidate myself I always felt the first two First judged public events were the toughest. Having said that each of the 2015 Miss Osoyoos Candidates showed a tremendous amount of self growth between their First and second judged events. I was extremely proud for all three of the Young Ladies for their superb speech presentations and highly creative Osoyoos Promotion speeches [the quick 1 minute Poems & Rap.] Well done ladies, one more event to go before you embark on your Journey as Sparkleheads.
For those who wish to attend the 2015 Miss Osoyoos Pageant the coronation ceremony will take place on Tuesday June 30th, 2015 at the Sonora Centre with the doors opening at 6:00 p.m & the Pageant beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are for sale at the door or from any of the current reigning Royalty or Candidates for $15.00 for adults aged aged 13 and over, with tickets for Children available for $8.00.
