The annual Georgia Marble Festival Beauty Pageant has always
been one of the most glamorous pageants held in Pickens County. We place
emphasis on helping girls develop a positive winning attitude during
participation in our “Pageant.” Although only one girl can be a
winning “Queen”, each girl is a winner and we ask that parents
help us in making them feel like winners!! Our judges are “professional
” people with various pageant/modeling experiences and reside outside
Pickens County.
All proceeds and donations go to the benefit of the Bethany-Salem
Volunteer Fire Department. Your generous support is greatly appreciated.
