Show Times Newspaper Utah County Fair Pageant will be a "night of magic" The 1998 Miss Utah County Fair Pageant August 22 will be a "night of magic", according to Francine Christensen, director. "I have never been as excited over a pageant as I am this one," Christensen said. The annual contest will feature 13 talented young women from throughout Utah County this year. Contestants are required to have placed in a royalty in a local, lo-cal, franchised Miss America pageant. Vying for the title will be: Danielle Hughes, Payson; Brittany Brit-tany Henrie, Orem; April Edlefsen, Pleasant Grove; Jen Tucker, Lehi; Michelle Patterson, Pleasant Grove; Christina Butler, But-ler, Spanish Fork; Carrie Moody, Provo; Melissa Brown, Pleasant Grove; Brittany Leigh Campbell, American Fork; Tiffany Gledhill, Provo; Katharyn deGaston, Provo; Jodi M.

The fair is set for August 21 and 22, with the oldies concert on August 24. "Although the fair is taking a lot of my time these days, my office of-fice is still responding to requests and following through on Film Commission business," Toone said. The Central Utah Film Commission Com-mission works to bring film producers pro-ducers to the valley by providing site selection assistance, a location loca-tion photo library, resource referrals, refer-rals, and local liaison.

She is a certified member of Film Commissioners International. Toone and her staff can provide an amazing array of experienced local technicians, actors, stunt men and women, set builders, and so on for an area so far re- moved from Hollywood. When not dealing with fairs, festivals, and films, Toone enjoys working as writer and director for the Stadium of Fire show, held in conjunction with Provo's Freedom Festival.

In the past, the competition was held the nicht before the fair opened, and the royalty reigned throughout the event. This year, the pageant will bring the fair to its conclusion. The Miss America and Miss Utah pageants have become increasingly in-creasingly service-oriented over the years, Christensen said. As a service project to the county, the young women will begin Wednesday, August 19, to help with display items and registration. registra-tion. On Thursday, August 20, they will be back to help set up and organize the displays. The impact of pageant service is felt in communities throughout through-out the state, Christensen explained, ex-plained, as about 65 contests are held annually. Estimating a minimum of 10 contestants per pageant, the influence multiplies out to about 650 young women giving service in many ways everything from helping abused children to fighting illiteracy. The community service, Christensen believes, is a positive dividend of the pageants Miss Utah County Fair winners win-ners have a strong track record in other competitions. Utah County has won the Miss Utah State Fair title seven out of the last nine years, Christensen said. Theme of this year's pageant will be "When You Wish Upon a Star". Evening wear and talent competitions will be featured. Callie Haggard, Miss Utah County 1997, will be honored at the event.
