Debbie Warden Teresa Richardson Katrina Lilly 2nd runner-up MISS BLAND COUNTY 1984 1st runner-up A Turn With the Best Through Fifty Years Fabulous dresses, flashy smiles and frantic nerves described the appearances and feelings of beauty contestants on the night of March 16. Each girl hoped this night would be ‘her turn’ for the coveted crown and title. Highlighting the pageants was the return of former Miss Bland County winners. The first pageant was held in 1934 and 23 of the title holders were present. Gathering clothing from 'other'years, find- ing someone to fit the garment, and modeling them kept the FHA members busy. A magical night allowed many to say 'it’s my turn now', even though only two girls departed wearing the new crowns. 14 — Miss Bland County
