Nineteen contestants will compete in the 53rd annual Ms. ABAC contest on March 2 at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. Sponsored by the ABAC Agripreneurs, the theme of this year’s pageant is “Gee Haw Whoa Back, there she is, Ms. ABAC.”  The winner will receive a $500 academic scholarship.

The event begins at 7 p.m. in ABAC’s Howard Auditorium. Admission is $10. Because of limited seating, advance ticket purchase is advised.  Tickets can be purchased from any Agripreneurs officer in the Donaldson Dining Hall the week of the event.

Dr. Audrey Luke-Morgan, an associate professor in ABAC’s School of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the Director of the Ms. ABAC pageant, said the event’s tradition is an exciting one.

 

 

“As an ABAC alumnus, directing the Ms. ABAC pageant always bring excitement and joy in carrying on a long-standing tradition,” she said. “Students gain leadership skills and a sense of accomplishment, whether taking part as a contestant or coordinating and planning the event as an ABAC Agripreneurs’ officer or member.”
