Mahnensmith, Syracuse. Third runners up honors meant trophies and SI,OOO scholarships for Michael Jenks, Leesburg, and Kristen Juillerat, Columbia City. The cuties were out in full force for both the Cutie Parade and Cutie Contest. North Webster Town Marshal Jerry Craig commented, “This was the biggest crowd I have seen in three years.” Trophies and $50,000 worth of scholarships were awarded to the winners in both events. Area youngsters aged four to six put their cuteness to the test at the Cutie Pageant in front of a packed house at Camelot Hall. Judging began around 8 p.m. as the boys and girls made their way onto the runways on either side of the stage. Contestants donned fashionable shorts, skirts and shirts as per the rules of the contest. After the entire crowd of children were judged, the top 10 girls and boys were brought back onto the runways. After another judging period, the five finalists for the boys and girls were again asked to come to the stage and prizes were awarded. All of the scholarships were provided by the International Palace of Sports J. Homer Shoop Scholarship Fund. Shoop set up the fund and designated that the scholarships be used for educational purposes. Making a trip back to North Webster, Shoop attended Wednesday evening’s Cutie events before returning to his Florida home. The Parade The parade started around 7 p.m. and the spectators were treated with a line of creative and humorous participants. Open to children of all ages, the parade featured everything from a “Jungle Princess” to “The Goodship Lollipop."

Two generations of cuties

Richard and Clara Kaiser, of r 2 Milford, have been “honored” to have three of their children win the Cutie King and Queen Contest at the Mermaid Festival. After Wednesday’s contest, it would appear that this tradition is continuing on into the next generation as the 1989 Cutie King is their grandson, Tyler Bell. In 1961, their son Brent set a precedent for the Kaiser children to follow by winning the title of Cutie King. He presently lives on Syracuse Lake with his wife, Cindy, and son, Creighton. A graduate of Wawasee High School and Purdue University, he is a registered pharmacist and manager of Hook's Drug Store at North Webster. Their daughter Ann (Kaiser) Bell won the Cutie Queen title in 1963. A 1976 graduate of WHS, she now lives with her husband Wesley and two sons Justin and Tyler and operates her own toning and tanning salon, "Just for You" in North Webster. John, another son of the Kaisers, won the Cutie King's crown in 1965. He and his wife Toni, and their children, Kellie and Troy, live on the MilfordSyracuse Road. A 1978 graduate
