Any of them would make an excellent Miss Apple Peach and town representative,” said Stacy Clougherty, Miss Apple Peach 2000, who is organizing this year’s pageant. “We have a fun night planned starting from the opening number right until the moment we crown our new winner. We highly encourage the community to attend and show their support.”
