Miss Calaveras Crowned

The 2010 Miss Calaveras was crowned Thursday night, during the Miss Calaveras Scholarship Pageant, at the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee.

Rebecca Marie Fischer was also Friday morning’s KVML “Newsmaker of the Day”.

Fischer is an eighteen year old senior at Calaveras High School. She lives in the small Calaveras community of West Point.

During the talent portion of the Scholarship Pageant, which was 40% of the judges total vote, Fischer sang the tune “My Favorite Things” from “The Sound of Music”.

Fischer will be using her $1,000 Scholarship winnings this fall where she will be attending CSU, Channel Islands in Camirillo, for a double major in early childhood studies and English, with an emphasis in creative writing.

She is a soon-to-be published book author and would eventually like to be a preschool teacher.

The “Newsmaker of the Day” is heard each weekday morning on AM 1450 KVML at 6:47, 7:47 and 8:47am.
