Harvest Queen Pageant

  

Welcome to the Black Gold Jubilee's Harvest Queen and Junior Harvest Queen Pageant!

This year, we proudly celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the Harvest Queen Pageant, a cherished tradition that has been a cornerstone of our community since its humble beginnings.

The pageant’s history is as rich as the soil it honors. The very first Harvest Queen was crowned with a crown made of vegetables—a symbol of the agricultural roots of the Glades. Over time, the vegetable crowns evolved into the dazzling official pageant crowns we see today.

In its early years, the pageant drew an impressive 30 to 50 contestants, judged by notable figures including celebrities like Mazie Murphy Kline, Miami Dolphins players, and esteemed Jaycee dignitaries. From 1973 to 1983, the pageant took a brief hiatus, but in 1984, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Fliehs, the Lions Club, and coordinator Cathy Lee, the tradition was revived. That year, Allison Shirley was crowned the new Harvest Queen, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the event.

Over the decades, many dedicated individuals have worked tirelessly to keep the pageant thriving. Cathy Lee’s leadership was instrumental for many years, with support from Olga Hayes, Sherry Barnes, Becky White, and Deena Lee, who took the reins in 2010. Deena has continued to lead the pageant with passion and creativity, often aided by Cathy behind the scenes. The pageant’s stunning stage designs are a testament to the vision and talent of Dorinda Shutts, whose contributions have elevated the event year after year.

The Harvest Queen Pageant is more than a competition; it’s a transformative experience. Contestants develop confidence, polish their interview skills, and learn the art of presenting themselves with poise. Many participants have gone on to achieve remarkable success, including Kayla Collier, who was crowned Miss Teen Florida, USA.

As we celebrate another year of this beloved tradition, we honor its past, embrace its present, and look forward to the bright future of the Harvest Queen and Junior Harvest Queen Pageant. Thank you for being a part of this enduring legacy!
