The Laurel Festival

by Pat Masucci

14 young ladies vying for the crown,
14 young ladies all dressed in gowns.
Who will win this honor?
Who will be the Queen?
Who will demand our attention
On the Winsted green?

The judges have interviewed them,
Testing all their skills.
Talking of future plans,
Of past accomplishments and drills.
Finding out their values,
What drives them toward this goal
Of being Winsted’s # 1 – Laurel Queen role.

We sponsored Maggi Muirhead –
Were delighted at the start.
This girl was not only beautiful,
But was also very smart.
After listening to her tell
Of what she planned to impart,
We understood what the judges would see,
This girl also grabbed your heart.

Sure enough, Maggi is the Queen.
She made it all the way.
She’s the winner of the crown,
She’s Winsted’s Laurel Queen today.


And the HLWA has sponsored another winner - aren’t we lucky? But, folks, it isn’t about the winning - it’s about the joining together of ideas, creativity, and bringing a project together to fruition with our friends and neighbors.

It’s helping our young here in Winsted that counts. Comradery is what our membership services is all about.
