Rockland, Maine - The pressure is on! Only four days till the judging banquet at the Samoset Resort.  With only days till these girls will stand before the judges at the coronation banquet.  So many details to be nailed down.  Than it is practice, practice, practice, where to stand, how to stand, how too hold the flowers, how to wave, how to walk.   Like an athlete getting ready for the big game, going over the plays over and over till they are perfect.

In this practice session the girls are also put on the spot to answer questions that the judges may ask at the Judging Banquet on Friday, “Name 3 of the 14 lighthouses in Knox county.” “Who was the first Maine Sea Goddess?” “How often do lobstermen catch a calico lobster?” “In what year was the first Maine Lobster Festival?” “Name three vessels of the Maine Windjammer Association who sail out of Rockland”.  How well would you do on these questions, these girls are expected to know these and much, much more.
    On Friday it will not be practice any more as the girls will be in the spotlight during the Coronation Judging Banquet.  Time for formal photographs, perfect manners and all the right answers.

We wish all the girls the best.
