Miss Transcona Royalty On Parade — Past Miss Transcona’s who were able to attend the Miss Transcona Reunion held during the Transcona Hi Neighbour Festival in June get into the swing of things on their special float during the Festival Parade. They were very excited to have gotten together for the Festival Weekend. Reunion Organizer Jean Delorme expresses her thanks to Larry Vickar who gave each of the Miss Transcona’s a Transcona Centennial Book as a souvenir. She also expresses her appreciation to Transcona Ward Councillor Russ Wyatt and Elmwood- Transcona MP Lawrence Toet who pre- sented the 16 Miss Transcona’s with a ribbon that bore the title “Miss Transcona” plus the year in which they were crowned. Each Miss Transcona also received Centennial and Transcona 100 pins. (Photo By Dean Jonasson.) v
