Dear Editor:
Being a part of the Gilroy Garlic Festival Court has been an amazing experience. I have been able to represent my home town and promote the Festival at many local events, on the radio, in nearby cities, and in our sister city of Takko-Machi, Japan. At the Festival, the court had a bunch of fun welcoming guests to our home town.
I have met so many wonderful people, and have witnessed first hand the operations and preparations of the Festival. From the pageant itself, I gained valuable experience with interviewing and public speaking, and made some great friends. I also received more than $1,000 in scholarship money.
I would like to encourage any eligible young lady who loves Gilroy and would like to promote the Festival to participate in the 2004 Gilroy Garlic Festival Queen Scholarship Pageant. Good luck!
Melissa Noto,
2003 Gilroy Garlic Festival Queen
