 The
4th Annual National Route 66 Pageant was held in Barstow September
10, 2005. Fifty-three entrants ranging in ages from 9 months to sixty-four
years of age competed for twelve titles. Contestants wore sportswear
and costumes depicting clothing worn during the "heyday"
of Route 66 (40s - 60s). Patriotic colors and poodle skirts were popular.
The audience and contestants participated in the
peppermint twist, hula hoop, and limbo rock. Flying poodles, bubble
gum and lollipops were given to everyone.
Seven contestants competed in the optional talent
competition producing fine singers and musical performers.
Winners received a custom Route 66 crown, an embroidered
Route 66 sash, a custom Miss Route 66 denim jacket, and a trophy.
Special award trophies were presented to Route 66 "heyday"
costumes and talent competition. All other contestants received
a custom Route 66 princess tiara and sash.
