Polar Fest has been over for a couple months but now it's time to crown a princess.
Due to a miscommunication and some major scheduling conflicts, the pageant was delayed until this Sunday at 7 p.m. in the Holmes Theatre. Cost is $8.
"Have no fear, it'll be in February next year," said co-organizer Kimberly Bultema. Sharing in organization duties with Bultema are Cindy Moore, Cara Frank and Stacy Heinlein.
This year's theme is Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
There are seven girls running for the Miss Teen Polar Fest crown and first runner up, and three vying for Miss Polar Fest. No runner-up will be crowned. There will also be a Miss Congeniality and Miss Hospitality honors given.
