DJJD Ambassador Coronation is Saturday, Aug. 17
The DJJD Committee awards scholarships to three ambassadors. The program begins at 6 p.m. at Northfield Middle School.
The 2014 Defeat of Jesse James Days Ambassador Coronation is planned for 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, at Northfield Middle School.
The coronation is the culmination of the annual DJJD Ambassador Scholarship Program. Here is a description of the program from the DJJD website:
This is NOT a beauty pageant. This program revolves around volunteerism and developing leaders that will serve as positive role models as ambassadors for the Defeat of Jesse James Days Celebration and Northfield. In addition the ambassadors will spend the next year visiting other communities throughout the state and meet hundreds of people through parades, coronations and other special events gaining valuable friendships, experience and making lifelong memories.
The candidate experience is very rewarding for everyone. Candidates are offered personal growth opportunities, fun social activities and memories to last a lifetime in a non-competitive environment. Qualified mentors will be available to help make every experience a positive one. Even if the candidate is not selected to be a part of the royalty, they will have a great time participating in many events during candidacy, have more confidence in public speaking and learn interviewing techniques. They will spend time with the DJJD celebration committee and have a great time with new and old friends.
Northfield area merchants and businesses provide prizes for the event. The DJJD Committee awards scholarships to three ambassadors.
