Contestants are, left to right: Miss Fraser Valley Inn, Jill Kirkoff, Miss Abbotsford Lions, Kimberley Friesen, and Miss Wall & Redekop Realty, Lorette Thiessen. Miss Abbotsford Flying Club, Carina Olsson, is crowned as 1977 Miss Abbotsford and Miss Park Hotel, Christine Penner, is crowned as Miss Congeniality. The pageant, held at ASSS, is sponsored by the Abbotsford Jaycees. The organizers of the pageant are Keith Fuller and Al Anderson, with Queen Mother, Carol Lewis, and Linda Cherry assisting. The judges include Mike Dodman, disc jockey for the CJJC Radio Station, Christine Moore, a fashion merchandising instructor at Patricia Stevens Career College in Vancouver, and an unidentified sports celebrity as a representative from Labatt Breweries. Prior to the event, each contestant attends a five evening course that covers poise, grooming, public relations, public speaking, modelling, and wardrobe coordination. Beyond the actual pageant on May 14, each contestant is expected to participate in the International Band Festival Parade on May 7, as well as the Jaycee-sponsored annual tea and dinner on the day of the pageant at the Park Hotel. |
