2025 Miss Butte County Scholarship Program Preview – Gridley Herald
GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) – A big event at the Butte County Fair is an opportunity to support some outstanding youth participants in the Miss Butte County Scholarship Program (MBCSP).
The first two phases of the competition will be kicking off Saturday, Aug. 16. This year, 15 hardworking contestants are competing for the titles of Missette Butte County, Miss Teen Butte County and Miss Butte County.
Contestants began preparing as early as June, some even earlier, by writing resumes, crafting personal speeches, and creating community service initiatives known as Service Platforms. They’ve been attending weekly Competition Camps, where they develop public speaking skills, interview techniques, confidence, teamwork, and learn what it means to be a role model.
The competition spans multiple days, beginning with panel interviews on Aug. 16. Contestants will speak with judges for six to 10 minutes, demonstrating their life experiences, poise and readiness to serve as a representative of the fair and the community.
Next there will be a fair knowledge test, a brief multiple-choice exam assessing each contestant’s knowledge to promote the Butte County Fair and the Miss Butte County Scholarship Program.
On Thursday, Aug. 21, the opening night of the Butte County Fair, contestants will take the stage to perform an opening number choreographed by Angelica Gomer, deliver their speeches, perform their presentation of skills and answer an impromptu question from their resume or community service initiative.
The judges will be looking for articulate, confident young people with age-appropriate diction and the ability to communicate clearly and effectively.
The night will conclude with an awards ceremony, where scholarships, special recognitions and nine new titles will be announced. These titleholders will represent the program for the next year by participating in over 50 community service events, including appearances during the Butte County Fair in areas like the Kids Zone, Pee-Wee Showmanship, the Livestock Auction, Grandstand events and more.
The participants will include 13 Future Missette contestants and three Future Butte County Ambassadors, who will also take part in the stage competition that evening.
As a non-profit youth program, the Miss Butte County Scholarship Program relies heavily on donations from local businesses and community members to continue offering scholarships and leadership opportunities. We are currently seeking sponsors to help support this year’s competition and scholarship awards. Your donation is tax-deductible through our 501(c)(3), and sponsor packages are available. If you’re interested, contact the Butte County Fair at 530-846-3626 or email [email protected].
Come out to the Fair and support the growth, service and leadership of youth in our community.
