For those wishing to participate in the annual Miss Tomball Pageant, applications are now available. This is the 50th anniversary of the event, and officials are expecting a high interest and increased application numbers.

“This is the 50th anniversary of the Miss Tomball Pageant,” Tomball Chamber of Commerce president, Bruce Hillegeist, said. “We’re incorporating some special ways to honor all past pageant winners during the event. We know how special it will be to wear the crown and bear the title of the 50th Miss Tomball.”

Pageant and parade entry applications may be picked up at the chamber offices, located at 29201 Quinn Road, or by visiting the chamber’s website at www.TomballChamber.org. The deadline to submit applications is Oct 16, 2015.
