Empowering Young Women Through Scholarship, Education, and Community Service

Ten of Klamath’s most accomplished young women will compete for thousands of dollars in scholarships and prizes in the upcoming 43rd annual Miss Klamath County-Miss City of Sunshine Scholarship Pageant.

First year pageant director Sheri Hargrave said “I am extremely proud to be part of this outstanding program which truly does make a difference in strengthening the lives of young women. I am also very proud of each of the contestant this year they are a great group of young women and have a lot to offer our community.”
