PRETTY AS A PEACH
Leigha Mabry, 2 1/2 months old, dons her peachy dress for competition in the S.C. Peach Festival events held Saturday in Blacksburg. She is the daughter of Candice, shown in the photo, and Jody Mabry of Cowpens.
The weather was sticky and hot. The peaches were ripe and sweet. And a beauty pageant was the place to be during Blacksburg’s events held last weekend as part of the upcoming 34th annual South Carolina Peach Festival.
A sizeable crowd of family and friends gathered in the auditorium of Iron City Place for the pageant on Saturday where the air conditioning was appreciated almost as much as the program.
The strain of competition appeared to affect 20-month-old Eden Suarez of Greer as she left the auditorium and waited outside in the shade, taking a break with her grandparents.
