WHEELING — The Queen of Queens pageant will take place on Thursday at the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling.

The queen will be crowned at the OVAC Football Game on Saturday, July 19. Tickets for both events can be purchased through links found on the ovac.org website. Tickets will be $10 for adults. Students are admitted for $1 to both OVAC events.

Girls from 19 OVAC schools will be competing for the title of Queen of Queens. They will be judged on their interview, talent and poise/presentation. The interview takes place prior to the beginning of the actual talent show itself.

“The Queen of Queens candidates have been working hard since April to make these All-Star events happen,” said Joyce Jingle, Queen of Queens director. “Not only have they been working on honing their own talent, but they have been out in the community securing support from friends, families and area businesses. We want to thank everyone who has contributed in some way to make these events possible for our young people.

“The weeklong OVAC activities are a great way to cap off a high school career, whether it be on the field or on the stage. I hope these young people make great lasting memories.”
