We are excited to announce our next event, the “Valentines for the Vets Pinup Contest,” which will be held on February 22nd at 6:00 PM at the Calumet Saloon in Calumet, MN. This event will consist of two portions:
Fundraising: Ten contestants will have the opportunity to fundraise for points in hopes of earning the title “Miss Valentines for Vets Fundraising Supreme.” Each $1 donation will count as a point, and the individual with the most donations/points will receive this prestigious title.
Stage: Each contestant will have the opportunity to shine on stage in 1940s-1950s outfits, reminiscent of a classic beauty contest. Contestants will dance, sashay, and pose to music as they make their way to the stage while a short introduction is read. Once on stage, they will be asked about the Veteran in their lives they wish to honor, sharing a photo and their reasons for choosing them. Contestants are judged on their outfits, character, stage presence, and interactions with patrons and each other. At the end of the evening, points are tallied, and three titles will be awarded:
- Miss Veteran’s Valentine
- Miss Purple Heart
- Miss Cupid’s Hero
We are excited to inform 23rd Veteran that they have been chosen as the recipients of the donations from this event.
