On the last weekend in July, the 39^th annual Miss Limberlost Scholarship Pageant was held on the Munk Stage. Five young women from Noble and Lagrange counties competed for the title of Miss Limberlost and seven teens competed for the title of Miss Limberlost Outstanding Teen or Miss Northern Lakes’ Outstanding Teen, in hopes to compete next June in Zionsville for the title of Miss Indiana or Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen. Two Little Miss Limberlost and six Miss Limberlost Pre-Teen contestants also took the stage. Friday night was the night for little miss, pre-teen, and teen contestants to shine. Saturday was the Miss competition and crowning night for all age groups.

East Noble graduate, Olivia Ulch, Miss Limberlost 2014, said her favorite memory from her year was “the entire Miss Indiana experience”. She also said “it was crazy to see in a week how much growth I had”. When I asked what she would miss the most after she passes down her title, “it defiantly keeps you busy for an entire year”. Miss Limberlost’s Outstanding Teen, and junior at East Noble Taryn Campbell, said her favorite memory was “the camping trip the contestants take every year and getting to know her sister queens”. A sophomore at East Noble, Megan Butler, Miss Northern Lakes’ Outstanding Teen, said her favorite memory was “being with Taryn backstage during Miss Indiana.”
