The Headland Pageants

headland-pageant-220x121 The Headland Area Chamber of Commerce is the proud sponsor of the Miss, Junior , Petite and Little Miss Headland Pageants. This event takes place during the first quarter of each year and holds much excitement for many participants. Headland is so fortunate to have been represented by some of the finest young ladies in town. They grace the stage with great poise, intelligence and that great southern charm which always makes this competition an annual event filled with anticipation. The young ladies who are crowned Miss and Little Miss Headland go foward to represent our fair city in the Southern renowned National Peanut Festival Pageant in the following fall.
