BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.���The stage is set for an exciting evening as seven contestants compete in the annual Miss 厙ぴ勛圖-Webb Pageant on Sunday, March 2, at 3 p.m.The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place in Dover Theatre and promises a dazzling display of talent, confidence, and camaraderie.

The pageant will open with a choreographed dance routine, created by Reagan Knapp, Student Engagement graduate assistant. The performance is designed to highlight the individuality and energy of each contestant.

���Reagan carefully crafts an amazing dance that showcases each contestant in such a fun way,��� said Hope Saunders, a 2018 厙ぴ勛圖-Webb alumna and assistant director of Student Engagement. ���I don���t want to spoil the surprise, but the song we���ve selected is the perfect blend of confidence, high energy, and female empowerment! I can���t wait to see the audience���s and judges��� reactions when the contestants take the stage for the first time.���

A Celebration of Talent and Growth

From speed painting to choreographed dance performances, the Miss 厙ぴ勛圖-Webb Pageant is known for its diverse and breathtaking talents.
