Brought to you by the Okeene Child Study Club

Three places will be awarded in each age group:
0-12 months, 13-24 months, and 25-36 months.
The babies will be judged by a panel of three judges.
No pageant dresses please. Sunday best, party attire, or a favorite play outfit are all good choices.
Parents are welcome to assist the infants and toddlers across the stage if needed.
Please pre-register your child before August 10th by calling Carrie Luckie at 822-5243.
(This will decrease the amount of time the babies and siblings spend waiting; making it more enjoyable for them and the parents!!)
The Baby Pageant, hosted by the Child Study Club, will take place at 10:30am August 14th. Board your little darlings decked for the ship deck, whether they arrive in their travel attire, Bermudas or swimsuit, this is one contest sure to make you giggle as they jiggle! Grandmas, we have opened this up so your out-of-town grandchildren can participate. Registration starts at 10:00am but the best thing to do is to call Carrie Luckie at 822-5243 to pre-register, this will decrease the amount of time the babies and siblings spend waiting; making it more enjoyable for them and the rest of us!!!

What is brown and orange with a little bit of glue? Why a hand-made pumpkin treat bag!
The first arts and crafts day was rainy and drab but once inside the community building things came alive as 37 students enjoyed a snack provided by Homestead Bible Church and made three projects that included a squirrel covered in fall leaves, a painted pumpkin treat sack and a colorful leaf made out of tissue paper. Volunteers Hadley Gambill, Koby Smith, Lane Gambill, Clarissa Kraus, Mason Gambill, Kayla Fast and Denise Aldrich were great in keep things cleaned up and working with the younger kids. Our adult volunteers this month were Sandy Boeckman, Robin Swain and Linda Lipps. We also had a few parents that stayed and helped out.

Whea Esta 2009
Newly crowned 2009 Whea Esta Queen Miss Jessica Parrish
The 68th Annual Whea Esta was held August 21st & 22nd at the Okeene High School gym, cafeteria and auditorium.
The pageant is always a great time of excitement for the entrants, the proud families and those who are there to cheer them on. All of the girls did a wonderful job. Jessica Parrish was crowned Queen as Jena Holiday won 1st Runner Up, Karlee Brownlee was the 2nd Runner Up, Jessica Parrish won the Spirit Award and Karlee Brownlee won the Miss Congeniality.
I loved the addition of the video this year. It was so nice to see the Whea Esta Queen’s year as it was also a scrapbook of the Chamber events! Jill Boeckman was a lovely Queen last year, thank you Jill for all of your help!
The entries started arriving just after 7am Friday morning; we had some folks anxiously waiting to entering their fair items! Donna Laubach gave us a hand with entering and what a great help she was! We had a nice variety of items throughout the categories but the exhibit that won the Chamber Directors heart was the display Marjorie Winters put together of the Westfahl family’s legacy, WOW, if you missed Whea Esta this year, you missed something very special, something I hope, we get to see again. Saturday was filled with the Exhibits with Ribbons hung, the BBQ Cookoff, Drawings with Door Prizes from Chamber Members, a Petting Zoo by Cody Seelke and great demonstrations.
The Wheat Walk/Run had over 70 participants who enjoyed some great Okeene weather Saturday morning.
The exhibit placings were as follows:
