SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER, LA –Christmas on Caddo Fireworks Festival Beauty Pageant will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 26 at Singing Pines Recreational Complex in Hosston, La.

Interviews will be held before the pageant begins.  Contestants must compete in interview and evening wear. Registration fee is $60.

“The annual pageant used to be held in the fall but due to school schedules and other back to school activities, we decided that hosting the pageant in the summer would be more convenient for busy families,” said Kellie Morris, pageant director for the Christmas on Caddo Fireworks Festival Beauty Pageant.

The other pageant divisions range from ages zero-19 and offer girls the opportunity to compete in 10 separate categories depending on age. Contestants, ages zero-10, will compete in Sunday best or a Christmas dress, while ages 11 and up are required to compete in evening gowns. Registration fee is $45.

The winner from each of the 13 divisions will ride in the Country Christmas Parade on Dec. 6 in Vivian, La., and be featured at the 2014 Christmas on Caddo Fireworks Festival in Oil City, La. later that evening.
