RANDOLPH — After over four hours of asking questions and listening to answers from candidates Sunday, the judges finally made up their minds and picked the Randolph Centennial Queen and Her Court.
The three out-of-town judges picked Mrs. Keith (Diane) Loberg, Mrs. Jim (Cindy) Billerbeck, Mrs. Jim (Sharon) Riedel, Mrs. Warren (Winnie) Janssen and Pearl Bauer from the five categories for the Centennial Court.
The announcement of the queen, which is one of the five chosen, will be made at the Coronation Ball on July 5.
The judges interviewed each of the 35 candidates individually on Sunday while a crowd estimated at about 200 was entertained with musical arrangements by two groups of musicians.
The judges also picked a runnerup in each age group which includes Peggy Stueckrath, Mrs. Rick (Karen) Dominisse, Mrs. Dennis (Susan) Kollars, Mrs. Vernon (Beverly) Loberg and Mrs. Harrison (Varedo) Huwaldt.
The runners-up will represent Randolph in the Centennial Court if the winner in her age group is unable to participate in the festivities.
The judging started on schedule but took longer than expected because the judges seemed to encounter difficulty in making their choices.
Each age group was introduced to those in attendance following the question and answer period with the judges.
Judges for the contest included Tom Peterson of KCAU Channel 9 in Sioux City, Arlene Kuhl of Plainview and Jane O’Leary of Wayne.
