Mount Washington Valley Ms. to Crown New Queen on March 15

Mount Washington Valley Promotions will host the 2020 Valley Ms. Event on Sunday, March 15th at Theater in the Wood, in Intervale, with the show starting at 3:00pm. Fourteen women of all ages will represent their non-profit organization for a collaborative fund-raising event and the chance to win $500 for their charity.

There are 4 easy sections to this event:

Each contestant will be interviewed by the Event Judges in a panel forum. The Judges will be scoring each contestant on her ability to talk with a board and answer questions about her interest in and passion for the organization she is representing.

Each contestant will introduce herself to the audience and judges and deliver a prepared speech about her sponsoring organization and its impact on her life.

Each contestant will present herself on stage in formal attire directly following Public Speaking. Watch them strut their stuff while you cheer them on – it’s all for fun and charity!

Each contestant and her organization has decorated a container with her name and the name of her sponsoring organization on it, where audience members may cast a “vote” with their money. The contestant with the most money will gain the most points and receive a special award. These “Cash Cans” are being displayed by the organization in advance of the event to collect more donations and many of the ladies have created online fund-raising pages too. There are even some great events happening prior to March 15th. Following the event, money from each of these containers will benefit their sponsoring organization!
