Festival crowns first Miss Diamond Daze

When the first Diamond Daze was held in 2006, and in the years since, the annual fete has featured just about everything one would expect to find in a community festival — vendors, car show, live entertainment, barbecue cook off, 5K run, corn hole tournament, treasure hunt and children’s zone — as well as the most recent additions of a hot dog-eating competition, 3 on 3 basketball tournament and John Perry Wickett Memorial Junior Rodeo.
