Jones Miss North Dakota delegate
by Carrie Opdahl
Nervous but confident, Tillarie Jones, Fessenden, says she is ready to give forth her best effort in her upcoming Miss North Dakota Scholarship pageant in Williston, ND, June 14-16, 2008.
Jones, 17, daughter of Tonya Rolen, Fessenden, was crowned Miss Dakota Country at the local competition in Carrington in March 2008, entitling her a spot in the Miss North Dakota pageant.
Ironically, Jones, a senior at Fessenden-Bowdon High School, didn't previously considered entering the local pageant. "A younger girl at my school, Megan Eichele, recommended me to the pageant director and then later I signed up to be a contestant," Jones said.
At the local pageant, Jones competed against five girls. Her platform was 'Stop Drug and Alcohol Abuse Among Adults and Teens,' and her talent was a dramatic monologue; her character was 'Backstreet Mammy' an older Caribbean mother who spoke to her daughter about fulfilling her dreams. "I was nervous. I didn't know if I would do well or not," said Jones. But she found her confidence and her best smile and took home the title.
