ARARAT’s Golden Gateway Festival will make a welcome return in just over a month and nominations are open for a Festival Queen.
The organising committee is seeking nominations of young ladies between 17 and 26 years to preside over the ten day festival.
Organiser Melissa Perry said nominations have been slow this year due to the festival being cancelled in 2020 and 2021.
Ararat’s Isabelle Fiegert is the first nomination to be Festival Queen 2022.
She is a member of Ararat Pony Club, plays netball for Tatyoon and is currently doing her VCE.
