Here’s a message from Imogen Stevens, 2014 Miss Taunton the Carnival Queen:
“I was lucky enough to win the Miss Taunton competition last year and all I can say is that it was a total surprise as my grandfather entered me without my knowledge and I couldn’t help but wonder, “What on earth has he got me into?” So I came into this role with not a clue of what a wonderful journey I was about to embark on. It was one of the best things that he could have done for me. I have met so many wonderful people from all walks of life and am very grateful and thankful for how much the Carnival Committee supported and guided me along the way. There is always someone to talk to, always someone to advise you and I will remember all of them with fondness and think about all of the laughter and fun we have had.
Of course my favourite time was carnival day! I mean isn’t it every girls dream! Who doesn’t want to be treated like royalty for a day?! To be on the Queen’s float leading the procession was so exciting!
For this role I would strongly suggest you like to talk, and as everyone on the committee knows that is a particularly strong suit of mine! But the only thing that I would really insist on is that you make the most of it. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone and that I have to now pass the crown on to the next Miss Taunton! I am saddened that this time has come, yet so excited for the next Miss Taunton who will experience the wonderful things that I have.
Good luck to all this year’s contestants and best wishes”
