Musky Fest

The Musky Festival Queen's Scholarship Pageant is a great opportunity for young women to learn skills in leadership and public speaking, to develop a sense of community and earn scholarship money. It is also an experience that looks great on a college application or resume. Participants will become an ambassador to the community, a role model to area youth and peers, attend local parades, showcase their talents, volunteer in the community, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

The winner of the Musky Festival Pageant received a $300 scholarship supported by Marketplace Foods, ADS Photography and
the Hayward Area Chamber of Commerce.

"The volunteering opportunities that arise from being part of the Queen's Court are tremendously rewarding and exciting. I have had the pleasure of attending community events and speaking with business leaders and members from the Hayward area. This has not only helped me become a more confident speaker but also a well rounded individual." - Chelsea Rusch, Musky Festival Queen 2007
