A new Miss Oktoberfest to be crowned

The one-year reign of Savannah Shope as Miss Oktoberfest draws to an end this weekend when she  crowns her successor.  Twenty-two young ladies are competing in the 2015 contest which takes place 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon at the Walhalla Middle School.  All contestants are enrolled in Oconee high schools.  They will be judged by interviews and in casual and formal wear.  Mistress of ceremonies Clarka Wickliffe provides the entertainment.  Tickets are $5 dollars and sold at the door.  Miss Oktoberfest is produced and directed by Greg Bearden and Eddie Payne of GC Pageants.  At 3 o’clock Sunday at the middle school, a Little Miss Oktoberfest will precede the main pageant.
