Having been crowned Little Miss Arkalalah at the age of five, Jordan Williams is now all grown up as evidenced by her being crowned Queen Alalah LXXIX during the coronation ceremony held Friday at Cowley’s Robert Brown Theatre.
Williams, an Arkansas City native, is the daughter of Kevin and Teri Williams.
The first runner-up was Jade Sparks, another Ark City native. The other three candidates were Jessica Coldwell, Amy Dunlap, and Erin Griffiths.
Williams attested to being the most nervous of the five candidates, but said the end result made it all worth while.
“Being crowned Queen Alalah is amazing,” Williams said. “This was an awesome experience that I will always remember.”
Queen Alalah LXXVIII, Ali Nittler, was on hand to pass her crown onto Williams.
The coronation also had performances by Prairie Voice, Ark High Singers, Ark City Dance, AC All Starz, and Ryan Smykil.
Lance Niles served as the Master of Ceremonies and introduced the former queens and the visiting queens from surrounding towns in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma.
Union State Bank president, John Sturd, was introduced as the 2010 Arkalalah parade grand marshal. While, Jevin Foust and Madi Jennings were crowned Little Mister and Miss Arkalalah.
At Cowley, Williams is the vice president of fellowship for Phi Theta Kappa, is a student ambassador, and is a member of the spirit squad.
Just got back from the parade, and had to comment on all the politicians. I noticed that the word "ELECT" was taped over on all their signs, but Raj Goyle's truck had signs tearing down Pompeo and using the jobs argument that he has been pushing (even though it's bogus if you research it a little). He was the only one to campaign negatively in a parade where they aren't technically supposed to be campaigning at all. I found it offensive, but I wasn't going to vote for him in the first place, so it doesn't really matter. Just wondering if anyone else noticed it, and if it bothered them or not.
ReplyDeleteYup saw that, I hate that politicians are in parades. what offended me more was the amount of space they took up. Some had 2-3 vehicles. They should be limited to one .. or maybe banned altogether from parades.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind them being there. In fact, it's kinda neat to see some politicians who go on to become famous in the political landscape. But to go negative in a parade? Tacky.
ReplyDeleteNegative. That's the latest dem strategy. no platform. just sling mud & hope it sticks. I have NO idea what Mr. Goyle's platform is. Maybe I would if he would spend more time talking about it rather than trashing Mr. Pompeo.
ReplyDeleteFrom the WSJ today, CBS reporter caught on tape trashing Joe Miller from AK. (they thought the line had been disconnected) "maybe we can find a child-molestor on his staff" or some junk. Sounds like they're not interested in reporting the news, but in how to trash Mr. Miller. These are reporters??? Made me want throw up at how horrible politics has gotten. But...that's not the issue. It's that the Boss tries to cover & dismiss it.

i predict GOP republican land slide,, repealing the obama Nightmear healthcare lies and watching the Tea Party inact the restoration of our civil liberties...
ReplyDeleteI saw the article, and heard the recording of the two "reporters" plotting against the conservative candidate. How disgusting that a so called journalist would stoop to this sort of thing. It just proves what the right has been saying about the "lame stream media" and their liberal bias. And it has shaped elections. Have no doubt.
