If you’d like to fulfil a young girl’s dreams of becoming a princess, there’s still time, with the closing date for entries in the 2014 Festival of Fisher’s Ghost Miss Princess Quest now extended to next Friday, September 5.
The quest is a highlight of Campbelltown City Council’s annual Festival of Fisher’s Ghost, which this year runs from Thursday, October 30 to Sunday, November 9.
Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Clinton Mead, said that being a quest entrant was a great opportunity to represent our city during one of our most popular and longest-running community celebrations.
“The quest gives entrants a chance to learn more about the city in which they live and experience first-hand the festival spirit that locals have come to know and love,” Cr Mead said.
The Miss Princess Quest is open to young girls aged between nine and 12 years. All entrants must live in the Campbelltown Local Government Area. A fee of $20 is payable for each entrant.
The winner of the Miss Princess Quest will receive a $500 Macarthur Square gift card, a trophy and a handmade gold ring, with the runner-up receiving a $300 Macarthur Square gift card and a handmade gold ring.
One lucky girl has the chance to receive the ‘June Dally-Watkins – Junior Development Course’, courtesy of June Dally-Watkins.
There are also two Highly Commended awards to be won, with a McDonald’s birthday party for 10 children on offer for each winner. Plus, there are six $50 Macarthur Square gift cards for Commended participants.
Sponsors of the 2014 Miss Princess Quest include Lend Lease Macarthur Square, June Dally-Watkins Education and Training, Evans & Sons Jewellers, McDonalds in Macarthur and Megan Sloper.
