'Mr. Cinderfella' competition tonight at Cowley College
BY JENNY SARCHET
Cowley College
Eighteen brave young men will be competing in Mr. Cinderfella tonight starting at 7:30 on the Cowley College campus.
Each contestant competes in three categories: beach/leisure wear, talent and evening wear. The show began in 1989 and has been going strong ever since.
"Mr. Cinderfella is very well established," Dejon Ewing, who helps organize the event, said. "We keep it clean and family friendly."
Miss Kansas, Megan Bushell, will be the emcee for the show. Bushell's platform is "Breaking the Silence Around Domestic Violence." She helped raise over $6,000 for the Harbor House, where she is a trained volunteer. She has also helped raise $10,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through volunteer efforts with Delta, Delta, Delta.
"Miss Kansas has always been the emcee for the show," said Ewing. "They've always enjoyed and have had a great time."
Last year's Mr. Cinderfella, Devin Woods, will be back to relinquish his crown. The show will have an opening number choreographed by Sarah Bryant, a former Cowley student. The judges for the event are chosen by Ewing. They are female and are community members or former students.
Besides the male students who compete, one faculty member will make a special guest appearance.
Tickets are $2 and are available in the Humanities office
downstairs in the Brown Center.
