Dublin, NC – The 30th Dublin Peanut Festival Pageant, held this past weekend at Bladen Community College, left attendees in awe with its unforgettable experience and celebration of beauty. The pageant, a symbolic representation of excellence, showcased participants’ stunning wardrobes and talents.

This year’s pageant trophy, a true work of art with its intricate design, brought smiles to each winner’s face. As pageant organizer Vicki Sibbett revealed, the winner in the Miss division will receive a generous $1500.00 scholarship at the end of her reign, provided she fulfills her contract.

Michelle Fisher, with Chelle’s Bells and an attendee, couldn’t help but praise the event, saying, “Wonderful pageant last night!!! Those peanut trophies are hands down the best trophies I have ever seen! Y’all are amazing!”

The Dublin Peanut Festival Pageant brings together young ladies from the area to celebrate style, beauty, and class, which defines this cherished tradition. It’s an opportunity not to be missed for competitive young women.

The pageant’s highlight was the introduction of the new 2023-2024 Dublin Peanut Festival Queen and her court. Congratulations to Miss Dublin Peanut Festival Jenna Stephenson, Teen Miss Angelina Gonzalez, Sweetheart Cylee Lugenbell, Junior Miss Paris Mote, Little Miss Ellie Colville, Tiny Miss Aryabella Johnson, and Sinia Colville, who will serve as this year’s Ambassador. These ladies exemplify the spirit of excellence, beauty, and talent.
