Waycross, Georgia
Sandi Woodson / Director
Sandi Woodson has been appointed
the Ware County Forestry Scholarship Pageant Director for Ware County by the Georgia Forestry Pageant for 2009.
The Georgia Forestry Pageant is the oldest Scholarship Pageant in the State of Georgia going into the 70th year. The Miss
Georgia Forestry Pageants give over $120,000.00 yearly in cash and college scholarships on the local and state levels. The
winners of the Ware County Forestry Pageant will receive their entry fees paid to the 70th Miss Georgia Forestry Pageant
to represent Ware County. The County Queens are treated like true royalty at the Miss Georgia Forestry State Pageant.
The girls are escorted to the pageant by limousine, they participate in a parade with their county and title on their car,
they are treated to cookouts, treefarm tours, and many more events. This year a formal ball will be held for the Miss and
Teen contestants. The Miss Georgia Forestry receives besides the scholarship, all her expenses paid to travel the State
in promoting Forestry, she is paid for her appearances, the official round Miss Georgia Forestry crown, rhinestone studded
banner, official Miss Georgia Forestry pin, official Miss Georgia Forestry diamond and emerald ring, silver engraved tray,
flowers, picture and interview in five national magazines, and gifts totaling over $2,000.00. The younger girls receive the
official Miss Georgia Forestry crown, rhinestone studded banner, official crowning pin, silver engraved tray, flowers, scholarships,
bicycles, stereos, gifts totaling over $1,000.00 and their picture. The Miss Georgia Forestry Queens have the opportunity
to ride on the Georgia Forestry float with Smokey Bear serving as Ambassadors to the Georgia Forestry Commission. The Miss
Georgia Forestry Pageant is a non-profit organization started in 1940 to offer educational opportunities to young ladies while
promoting Georgias Number One Industry, Forestry. The Ware County Queens will be responsible for promoting Forestry for Ware
County. We do allow the Forestry Queens to compete and win other pageants as long as they promote their Forestry titles. The
pageant will be open to young ladies ages three to 23 years. The younger girls pageants are open to all surrounding counties.
Contestants in the Miss Division must work, reside, or attend school or college in Ware County. The Forestry Pageant
closes the Miss Division to the county the pageant is being held in because we feel that it is important for a local girl
to win the Local Forestry Scholarship. The younger girls are judged a 1 to 10 on poise, beauty, gown, personality, and overall
appearance. The Teen and Miss are judged on interview, platform, and evening gown. Mrs. Woodson brings over 6
years years of pageant experience to the Ware County Forestry Pageant. Mrs. Woodson's daughter, Madison Woodson
was the 2007 Jr. Miss Georgia Forestry Queen and the 2007 Jr. Miss National Forestry Queen. For more information
