The next event was the Friends of Garrett County Dinner which honored the court. Cathie Hesen gave a short speech and took her seat at the head table with king Blair Glass. The guest speaker was the editor of the West Virginia Hillbilly newspaper. The Autumn Glory Bowl was played and although Southern was defeated by Tucker County the ceremony at half time was enjoyable. Following the game there was a teen dance which honored the queen and her court, sponsored by the Woman's Civic Club. Cathie Hesen and Blair Glass presented the well-earned awards at the banjo and fiddler’s contest. These were held in Southern’s cafeteria and drew large crowds. The court had their own special float which was in the Autumn Glory parade. The parade was well attended because the day was beautiful although chilly. This was quite a change from previous years. Before coronation at Southern, Cathie Hesen thinks about the big week ahead. Posing on the stage for Autumn Glory coronation, Natalie Wolf smiles prettily while Ryan Durst seems rest- less.
