very pleased with the evening and
very proud of all the girls. They did
great justice for their sponsors and

holders to return for the pageant.
Approximately half of the girls
attended with the first girl being
crowned in 1994, Colleen Elson.
Barbs granddaughter Disa Jamara
had the honor of joining Barb on
stage as they introduced the past
id West Pageant 2014
title holders. Barbs announcement
on stage was that Disa Jamra will be
stepping up to the "pageant plate"
to assist her grandmother. Barb
was also honored and reconized
for her twenty years hosting the
pageant, in receiving a certificate
scroll by MPP Lisa Thompson, MPP
Bill Walker, MP Larry Miller and
also a personal plaque presented to
her grandmother, by Disa Jamara.
The evening concluded with the
2013-14 Ontario Miss Mid West

down. Along with the afternoon the
