(Wednesday).
Miss Ten Pas, along with the 17

prior to the pageant, and the girls
are kept very busy during the days
leading up to the final event, with
all expenses paid by the CNE.
This year the girls were divided
into four groups for their assigned
activities and tours, and Miss Ten
Pas’ group was interviewed by a
panel of three judges on Monday
afternoon, after spending the
morning at the CN Tower.
Later on Monday, all contestants
attended a Cosmetics Counselling

The Old Spaghetti Factory. On
Tuesday, the group toured
Queen’s Park and participated in
the CNE Parade through the

sal was planned for the early

will culminate in the crowning of
Miss CNE. At 10 a.m., all
contestants will be seen at the CNE
Bandshell for their stage introduc-
tions, and later will attend a
luncheon with Pageant officials
and sponsors. During this time, the
judges will decide on the seven
semi-finalists.
At 4 p.m., the Pageant will
begin, with the semi-finalists each
giving a one and one half minute
speech. From there, the contest is
narrowed down to the three
finalists, who are expected to
answer an impromptu question
before the final decision is made,
culminating in the crowning of
Miss CNE 1987/88 at 6 p.m.
Miss Ten Pas’s parents, Hank
and Agnes, will be driving to
Toronto on Wednesday to watch
the entire pageant, and to cheer
their daughter on.
