categories begin at 11:30 AM. That day the interview, popcorn wear(an
outfit of your choice that promotes the Popcorn Festival), and evening
wear (may or may not be full length, we suggest something you would wear
on a dressy evening out) will be judged. The top three competitors from
the preliminary will move on to the finals. The final category of an
on-stage question will be judged on Aug. 7th at Grant Middle School Gym, the night of
Miss Popcorn. The winner will be crowned on that night. There will be
