Contestants strutted their stuff in three rounds; swim suit, talent and evening wear/interview. Notable swimwear was sported by Dr. Tom Greenwood, who wore an inflatable body suit beneath his clothing revealed upon announcement of his stage name, “Miss Diagnosed.”

In the talent portion, City of Winslow Public Works Director Tim Westover, “Miss Constructed,” called local businessman Andrew Bushman to the stage, where he was tethered to a board surrounded by balloons. Westover then pretended to shoot nails from a nail gun at Bushman, popping the balloons. The ruse was well received by the audience.

The event featured an auction as well. ‘Honey Do’s’ were donated by members of the community and were auctioned between rounds of the competition by auctioneer Darcey McKee. The items included window cleaning by Winslow Chamber of Commerce CEO Bob Hall, a patio rental from PT’s Bar and an Italian dinner for four prepared in home for Valentine’s Day.

Audience members were given official auction paddles and participated in a fun-filled way to make money for the cause. Items began as low as $50 with the highest bid going to private firearm lessons at the new Winslow Shooting Range that went for $400.
