It is very important to note that this is intended as a fun event. Judging will not be based on any “professional” pageant rulebook. Log on to www.catsupbottlefestival.com and click on the Children’s Pageant button for an entry form and more information.

Participants should appear on the day of the pageant in summer clothes and keep the thoughts of ketchup, classic cars, summer fun, and the Catsup Bottle birthday party in mind. Each child will be interviewed and asked to perform on stage. They will need to state their name, age, answer a simple question or two, and recite their own Catsup Bottle fun fact. There will also be a talent demonstration such as singing, dancing, a magic trick, etc.

There is a $20 entry fee. Everyone must be pre-registered. There will be NO registration the day of the event.
