Youngest competitor named queen of Howard City's Harvest Festival By Elisabeth Waldon HOWARD CITY - The youngest of four contestants vying to be Harvest Festival queen turned out to be the most outstanding. Elena Smith, 16, was crowned the village's newest queen at the annual pageant Wednesday night at Zellie's Opry House. Krista VanDyke, 17, the daughter of Rosemarie Ells and Mark VanDyke, was named first runner-up; Kellyn Vos, 18, the daughter of Bill and Pam Vos, was named second runner-up; Aylsia Bennett, 18, the daughter of Marc and Pam Bennett, also participated. Zellie's owner Terri Grannis emceed the evening. Paula Hagstrom and Cheryl Scott organized the event. Smith, the daughter of Mary Ann and Howard Wilson and Terence Smith, is a member of the National Honor Guard, color guard, concert band, Quiz Bowl and Student Council and president of her class at Tri County High School. She is active at her church, tutors first-graders in Spanish and recently attended several leadership conferences after being recommended by teachers at her school. "I'm very busy, but if I wasn't busy I'd be bored," Smith told judges Amy Norton, Julie Stephens and Kristy Stevensen. During the interview segment of the evening, Smith named peer pressure as the biggest problem young people face. "I think if we have good friends then we don't fall under peer pressure," she said. Smith shone during her presentation, "Why I want to represent Howard City as the Harvest Festival queen." She recalled living next door to MacNaughton Elementary School as a child before her family moved to Edgerton Street, "the heart of our village." She now resides just outside of town. "I've enjoyed growing up in Howard City," Smith said. "It's been encouraging to see all the new businesses open up over the past few years. Howard City is making a lot of progress and I'm glad I live here." Smith succeeds Katelyn Inman, the daughter of Scott and Mary Inman, as the new queen. The seventh annual Harvest Festival takes place Sept. 19 in downtown Howard City.2008 HARVEST FESTIVAL PRINCESS PAGEANT

Cheryl Smith, the pageant hostess then asked each girl a few questions about their favorite subjects in school; if they had any pets; and if they had one wish, what it would be. Many of the girls said that their wish was to be the princess. The judges for the evening were Norma Johnson, Jamie Jewell, and Barb Balk.
