Calaveras brings back belle ball
ANGELS CAMP - Calaveras County will hold a Coronation Ball on May 2 after a hiatus of more than a half-century.
The Coronation Ball is a gala that honors the Belle of the Camp, the young woman in the county who sells the most raffle tickets in a given year to raise money for charity. From 1937 to 1955, it provided a venue for young women to compete for glory. It also helped determine who would serve as an official representative of the county's fair and frog jump.
In 1956, the Belle of the Camp contest was replaced by the Miss Calaveras Beauty Pageant. The pageant evolved into a scholarship contest in 1983. And the fair and frog jump are now represented each year by the county's Saddle Queen, a scholarship contest based on equestrian skill.
Friends of the Calaveras County Fair organization is reviving the Belle contest and the Coronation Ball as a fundraiser for the various scholarships.
Tickets are $25 per person. The dinner is at 7 p.m. May 2 in Mark Twain Hall at Frogtown, at the county fairgrounds south of Angels Camp. Dancing will be from 8 p.m. to midnight.
Former Belles, beauty pageant winners and more recent Saddle Queen and Miss Calaveras scholarship winners are invited to attend free of charge. Organizers say at least one Belle of the Camp from the 1930s is still living and plans to be present.
Information and tickets: Friends of the Calaveras Fair, c/o Kathy Mazzaferro, P.O. Box 431, San Andreas, CA 95249 or call (209) 754-1354.
