17-year-old Emma Moore was crowned Miss Circus City during the Miss Circus City pageant and scholarship program on June 27 in Peru. The award came as a pleasant surprise to the young contestant.
The Circus City Festival Scholarship program provides young ladies of Miami County between the ages of 7-22 the opportunity for scholarships, giving out over $2,500 each year. It was an opportunity Emma said, she is glad she took.
The Queen has a busy summer ahead of her.
2020 Miss Circus City Courtney Turcheck will be joining Emma this summer and will be also competing in the Indiana State Festivals Convention. An adjustment to make up for the past year that, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, never happened.
Representing Miami County isn't the only thing Emma's got on her plate this year. The 2021 Maconaquah High School graduate will be attending Hope College in Holland, Michigan this fall to study psychology and history, with the goal of becoming a teacher.
