Search Begins for NBFF’s 2024 Queen’s Court
 
Ok, it is definitely winter hereabouts since we’ve just been blanketed with a super-sized helping of the white stuff. Oh, and to make things even brighter we’re due for one of those runs of frigid temps when you wonder why you live in a place where the weather makes your face hurt.
During these times it’s important to remember that following winter there is indeed a spring and it soon segues into the magical season of warmth, water, outdoor fun, festivals and nothing to shovel.
In 6 short (except for February and March)) months the National Baby Festival hits Fremont and the quest has begun for candidates to serve on the event’s Queen’s Court.
Interested? Here’s the skinny:

The National Baby Food Festival Committee has begun their search for the 2024 Queen’s Court!
 
This year the festival will take place during the week of July 17-20. The NBFF Queen’s Court Committee is looking for individuals who will enjoy representing the festival as a goodwill ambassador around West Michigan.  

The 2024 Queen’s Court will consist of three very eager and outgoing individuals willing to be involved in various events around Newaygo County as well as during the week of the National Baby Food Festival.  A scholarship will be awarded to the Crowned Queen of the court.  
 
Interested individuals must be between 16 – 20 years of age and a resident of Newaygo County.  Please submit a letter of introduction, along with a current photograph to:
NBFF Queen’s Court
7 East Main Street
Fremont, MI  49412
 
Letters of introduction and photograph must be postmarked no later than Friday, February 7, 2024, to be considered in the 2024 NBFF Queen’s Court search.  If you have any questions, please contact the Fremont Area Chamber of Commerce at (231) 924-0770.
 
Applicants will then be interviewed, and a three-person court will be announced this spring.  The 2024 Queen will be crowned during the Festival’s Friday night entertainment on July 19th.   Her first official duty will be presiding over the National Baby Food Festival Grand Parade on Saturday, July 22nd.
