The Miss Community Gardens competition is an annual Canadian beauty pageant in Kensington, Prince Edward Island which puts a spotlight on young women representing many of the communities in the eastern part of Prince County. The winner of the pageant is awarded the title of "Miss Community Gardens" for one year, and will act as ambassador for the region during her reign. The pageant falls under the wider umbrella of the Kensington Harvest Festival, a community festival taking place in mid-August in the community of Kensington on Prince Edward Island. The event has come to be known as P.E.I.'s largest country fair and includes many activities aside from the pageant, including a foot race, a beach volleyball tournament, the always popular street parade, a kite-flying contest, an Anne of Green Gables Lookalike contest, a rec softball tournament, a children's step dancing competition, a teen dance, a pancake breakfast, open bed races, a lyp-sync contest, a chicken and pork barbecue, the Harvest Festival Dance, an ecumenical service, a golf tournament, matinee horse races, a baby pageant, and last but not least, P.E.I.'s largest flower show. The pageant originated as a beauty contest in 1969, but now prefers to avoid this term and the connotations associated with it; although an Evening Wear portion of the contest remains, it is by not the only measure used to judge contestants. The pageant takes place over three consecutive evenings in the Community Gardens rink. The pageant is popular with the residents of Kensington and surrounding communities, and many assemble each of these evenings to take part. Aside from title of Miss Community Gardens, contestants are awarded prizes for Second Runner Up and Miss Congeniality. == History == Ida Peppin served as pageant director for each of the first 32 Miss Community Gardens pageants, and officially stepped down in August 2000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miss Community Gardens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
