Current Miss Colville representatives Tiana Mumau (right) and Sara Melvin enjoyed a carriage ride around Colville on a recent Sunday morning. Dean and Dan Henry of Dilly Dally Ranch brought their horse and carriage into town so the young ladies could take some photos and ride through town one more time as Miss Colville ambassadors. Tiana and Sara have spent the past year promoting Colville for the Colville Chamber of Commerce. They attended 13 parades on the Colville community float last summer, attended weekly Chamber meetings to report on activities at Colville High School and attended many community events as official “hostesses” for the city. Tiana and Sara will hand those duties off to their successors at the Miss Colville Program on Saturday, March 20 in the Colville High School auditorium. The program, which this year features 15 CHS juniors vying for Miss Colville and her alternates, starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are still available at the Colville Chamber of Commerce office in downtown Colville. Notes of encouragement and small gifts for the contestants can be dropped off in the CHS foyer on the day of the program. Photo courtesy of Cindy Dodge. |
