WINCHESTER, Ky. (LEX 18) — One week before Winchester's annual Beer Cheese Festival, the first Miss Beer Cheese Festival will be crowned at the inaugural pageant.
It's happening June 7th and is open to women of all ages. The event will take place at Whiskey and Wiles on S. Main St. in downtown Winchester.
"0 to 8 will be competing in casual wear," said pageant director Allison Honaker. "That would be something you could wear to church, fancy dinner, night out. 9 and up will be competing in only evening gown. And then we have our Shining Star pageant, which is for people with different abilities. And we told them, wear what makes you feel comfortable and makes you feel beautiful."
Honaker says so far, close to 30 people have entered.
The winners in each division will attend the festival and serve as beer cheese judges.
