Dear Pageant Contestant,

What a pleasure to invite you to my hometown of Myrtle Beach and the 57th Annual Sun Fun Festival!

This year we want you to have an opportunity to be part of this exciting tradition! The Sun Fun Festival is kicking off the summer season by providing fun events for you, nationwide visitors and local residents. Thus, we use the slogan, “SUMMER STARTS HERE!” Start your summer off with us in Myrtle Beach with your family at The Miss Sun Fun Pageant, followed by sandcastle building contest, jet ski stunt show, beach run, and beach front concerts. As the new Miss Sun Fun or Miss Sun Fun Teen you will take part in all of the activities and begin your year as an ambassador for the Grand Strand, while preparing to compete in the Miss South Carolina USA and Miss South Carolina Teen USA Pageants in November.

The Sun Fun Festival began modestly in June, 1951, when a handful of regional beauty queens, riding in Nash Ramblers, arrived in Myrtle Beach to add some luster to the fourteen events that comprised the inaugural festival. Fifty-seven years later, events are held throughout the 60-mile long Grand Strand; and the Sun Fun Festival has earned the distinction of being the largest annual festival in the two Carolinas.

 

The mission of the Sun Fun Festival is to attract people to the Myrtle Beach area during early June. In addition, developing extensive publicity which will serve to attract additional vacationers to the area in subsequent weeks and months and create awareness of the Grand Strand.

The mission of the Sun Fun Pageant is to find two attractive and articulate young women to be ambassadors of the Grand Strand, who are willing to travel and promote the Chamber and area businesses.

How much fun can you have being Miss Sun Fun or Miss Sun Fun Teen? We asked Arielle Conklin, Miss Sun Fun Teen 2008. Here is what she had to say… “Being Miss Sun Fun Teen 2008 has truly been an experience that I will never forget. I have been able to do so much throughout my reign. I have met so many wonderful people including a few celebrities such as: American Idol runner-up Justin Guarini, and the gorgeous and talented Mario Lopez! I have also spent my year working along side the fabulous people of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce. They have really treated me like family, and it is a great honor to be affiliated with them and the Sun Fun Festival.”

To become part of the Sun Fun legacy, simply send in your Official Entry Form and let the excitement begin. Please remember that all documents must reach our office on or before Wednesday, May 21, 2008. The official application can be accessed online, but remember, we are only a phone call away 803-648-6220.

Once again, congratulations! The Sun Fun Festival is the perfect way to begin the summer. Join us for a South Carolina tradition.

Warmest, personal regards,
