NISSWA — The Nisswa Area Women of Today will kick off the 2012 Nisswa Winter Jubilee by hosting the 2012 Miss Nisswa Scholarship Pageant on Feb. 17 at the Lutheran Church of the Cross in Nisswa. The event begins at 7 p.m. and will culminate when the reining Miss Nisswa, Rachel Howard, crowns one of seven local seniors as the area’s newest royalty. Tickets to the pageant are $5 at the door.

The first pageant was in 1973, and with that celebration of 40 years we are inviting all Past Miss Nisswa to attend this years evening Pageant and participate in the Jubilee Parade on Saturday at noon. Saturday morning there will be a pancake breakfast at the Nisswa Community Center sponsored by the Nisswa Women of Today and Schaefer’s Foods starting at 8:30.
