Looking for the Next Apple Blossom Queen Posted on 11/5/2014 Springfield, VT - High school senior girls in the communities served by Springfield Hospital and Springfield Medical Care Systems (SMCS) are invited to participate in the 59th annual Apple Blossom Cotillion. One of them will join the select group of Apple Blossom Queens. This special community event has become both a unique tradition and a rite of passage for area young people. Girls and their escorts present themselves and perform with and without their escorts. They are also interviewed by a panel of judges. The theme for this year’s production is “Totally 80’s,” featuring songs and styles from that distinctive decade. The master of ceremonies for the 15th consecutive year is Larry Kraft, Director of Development for SMCS. The directors of the 2015 Cotillion are Pam Church Shaughnessy and Kyla Beardsley White, assisted by Carrie Patch Jewell and Lisa Rushton. Proceeds from the event are used for the Dr. E Sherburne Lovell Health Career Award and to benefit Springfield Hospital and the SMCS community health center network. An orientation for all parents and participants, including elementary school, is on Sunday, January 4 at 1pm. Weekly rehearsals for high school couples start immediately after that orientation. Rehearsals for elementary school participants start on Sunday, March 1. It all culminates with performances on Friday and Saturday, May 1 and 2, at Riverside Gymnasium in Springfield. Applications are available at www.springfieldmed.org and at area high schools. Applications must be received by December 8. For information, call Larry Kraft, 885-7644, or lkraft@springfieldmed.org . ###
