SILVER CREEK — On Saturday Sept. 15 at a local grape farm in Silver Creek the first Queen Of Grapes Pageant was held.

The Queen Of Grapes Pageant was created out of love for our beautiful grape belt region, the Festival of Grapes, and its past pageant.

The Queen Of Grapes Pageant is a privately run pageant offered to the community, with no affiliation to the festival itself. It is available to girls from all over the region entering grades K-12. The girls compete in formal wear, talent, photogenics and cute country attire; this year, three amazing young ladies were crowned.
