Fairest of the Fair- by Ali Spence

There was a great turn out at the Fairest of the Fair beauty pageant! There were many contestants from Dyer County High School, as well as Dyersburg High School. They all looked so beautiful, but sadly there could be only one winner. The winner of the pageant was Erin Welch from Dyersburg High School with her first maid, Abby Patterson, and her second maid, Mallory Edgin also from Dyersburg High School. First maid Abby Patterson, senior at Dyer County High School, was wearing a beautiful mint green dress.
