Little Miss Candidate

Has your daughter ever told you she wants to be a Princess?

You can make her dreams come true!

The “Little Miss Delano” program is a part of the Delano Ambassador Program. Our program focuses on promoting friendship, community spirit, and fun! Candidacy is open to young girls who have completed the 1st or 2nd grade in the Coronation year and either live in the Delano/Loretto School District or attend a Delano/Loretto School District Elementary School. Boys interested in being a little ambassador are also invited to apply!

Interviews:

The interview with the judges will be one girl at a time sitting with the judges as they ask her a few questions. The interview is informal as we want the girls to feel comfortable and be themselves.

The judges will ask questions such as:

  • Why do you want to be a Delano Little Miss Ambassador?
  • Are you excited to wear a dress and crown?
  • Would you like to ride the float with the Delano Ambassadors and wave to the people watching the parades?

The judges will choose two girls to be crowned Little Miss Ambassador at the Delano Royalty Coronation during the Delano 4th of July Celebration.

Parent Info:

  • If crowned, the Little Misses are only required to be in the Delano 4th of July Parade, riding on our float with the older girls. Other appearances are up to you!
  • Little Misses will also be invited to attend Parades in other communities according to the year’s Parade Schedule.
  • Most Parades are optional for Little Miss Ambassadors, but you are encouraged to attend as it fits your schedule. It is the family’s responsibility for transportation to and from the parade, and to chaperone while she is on the float waiting for the parade to start and when the parade is over.
  • There will also be community events that we may ask Little Misses to attend, as we believe you are never too young to start volunteering!
  • After your daughter is crowned at the coronation, there will be another parent information meeting to lay out expectations and review the rules and guidelines of Little Misses and their families.
