Would you like to be the Queen or King of the Watermelon Festival?
Watermelon Festival Queen

Here's how -

Give Lion Marynance Schellenbach (818-353-4554) a call and and let her know you are interested.

Each queen or king contestant needs a sponsoring organization. If you do not belong to a group, the Lions Club will try to find you a sponsor.

What do you need to do to win?

Sell tickets ($1 each) for the Festival opportunity drawing - the Grand Prize is $500, making the tickets easy to sell. The candidate (together with the sponsor) selling the most tickets is the winner in each category. Points may also be earned through the public balloting and your service activities.

You are expected to be at the Festival all weekend. The crowning is at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. You will be asked to help at different venues at the Festival from time to time - sell raffle tickets, open contests, assist the Master of Ceremonies on-stage.  The members of the Court each receive a tiara or cap, sash, flowers, and some gifts from community merchants. You will be expected to wear your tiara/cap and sash at the Festival.  Next year, the Queen/King will be asked to crown the new Queen/King.

Where does the money go?

The Lions Club gets 50% (all money is used for charity and service work - see ABOUT THE FESTIVAL for more information) and the other half goes to your sponsoring organization.

The Queen/King contest is a good fund-raiser for the sponsoring organization, and a lot of fun for the candidate.
