Congratulations to Emma Cenatiempo for being selected as the 2021 New Melle Festival Little Miss Contestant. 

The contest was organized and hosted by the New Melle Festival Queen contestants and was open to boys and girls ages 3 to 7 years old. There were five participants: Paisley Noonan (ages 3 - 4 yrs.), Bonnie Lee and Betsy Sudbrock (ages 5 - 6 yrs.) and Emma Cenatiempo and Maggie Pinkley (ages 6 - 7 yrs.).

Contestants were judged on appearance, poise and personality, and enthusiasm for the Festival. Each contestant was asked a question to answer on stage. Emma will participate in the New Melle Festival Queen Pageant and in the Festival Parade. Congratulations to all the contestants who entered.
