Who We Are & Why We Do This

The Applefest Pageant is directed by Shalyn Milford, with the help of Karra McCarty and Bailey Weeks. We’re a small group of local women who love our community and enjoy helping girls build confidence, try something new, and make friendships in a fun, supportive environment.
