On March 22 I was a judge at the annual Canon City & Music Blossom Festival Pageant, which is celebrating their 63rd year! The Blossom Pageant offers much more than a rhinestone tiara, sash, and a title. It allows them to practice hands on interview skills necessary for their future, gives them the opportunity to work on their public speaking abilities, teaches them to be comfortable in their own skin by boosting self-confidence, and makes memories to last a lifetime.
