Annual beauty pageant to award more than $2,500 in prize money on
Saturday, July 13
Fillies of a different sort will
compete not on the track, but on the runway this weekend at Vernon Downs in the
5th Annual Miss Vernon Downs Pageant.
The event, free and open to the public, takes place during
live harness racing on Saturday, July 13. The first race is at 6:45 p.m. with
the pageant to begin shortly after 7:00 p.m.
This year’s field includes at least a dozen women from the
local area including Rome, Clinton,
Westmoreland, Boonville and Syracuse.
The women will compete in three rounds including evening gown, casual wear and
swimsuit. More than $2,500 in prize money will be awarded and the title of Miss
Vernon Downs 2013.
“We look forward to this pageant every year as another way
to provide our fans with an added bit of fun, unique entertainment during a
night at the races,” said Justin Horowitz, Regional Racing Marketing Manager
for Vernon Downs. “It’s also a great way to support the many talented and
beautiful contestants each year, many of whom are in college and can use the
prize money to help further their education.”
Local radio host “Genesee Joe” Trisolino from 92.7 The Drive
will serve as the pageant’s emcee.
