Miss Oregon: ‘We produce hope’ Business Directory
Continued from Page A1
Hayes, 20, is a student
at Liberty University with a
major in strategic communi-
cations. Her goal is to work in
a law fi rm focusing on family
and pro bono work.
“I believe that every single
girl on the stage was abso-
lutely beautiful and deserved
it just as much as I did,”
Hayes said.
The Miss Oregon Schol-
arship Program began in
1947. The annual event was
canceled in 2020 because of
the pandemic but returned
this year in a hybrid format
with both a live and virtual
audience.
The event was one of the
North Coast’s largest since
the pandemic began.
The fi ve-person judging
panel included publisher Neal
Robbins; 2008 Miss Oregon
Danijela Radeta; former Miss
Idaho pageant director Gene
Hill; writer and artist Mary
Anne Radmacher; and Sea-
side Chamber of Commerce
CEO Brian Owen.
Judges selected fi ve fi nal-
ists out of 18 entrants based
on Thursday and Friday pre-
liminaries, onstage inter-
views, red carpet perfor-
mance and talent.

Miss Clatsop County
Haylie Moon, from Can-
non Beach, was named non-
fi nalist interview winner and
received a $250 scholarship.
“This is my fi nal year com-
peting as a miss contestant,”
she said. “I could not have
done anyone more proud.
I’m so proud of myself. I’m
so proud of this community
of women and the sisterhood.
And I absolutely love com-
peting in this program.”
Miss North Coast Cait-
lin Hillman, of Gearhart, said
she felt great about the pag-
eant. “I’m really just happy
to be here,” she said. “This
is my fi rst time competing in
the miss division, so it was
great to be able to represent
the North Coast and be here
and meet so many amazing
women. I’m very excited for
Abigail. She’s going to be an
amazing Miss Oregon.”
Earlier Saturday, rein-
ing titleholder Marin Gray
passed the Miss Oregon
Outstanding Teen crown to
Moira O’Bryan, of Coos Bay,
one of 11 teen contestants.
“It’s pretty exciting,” Beth
McShane, the program’s
executive director, said.
“Coos County is one of our
oldest, best local programs,
and they have their fi rst state
titleholder.”
Teens will compete in
Orlando next month.
As the winner, Hayes will
receive a $10,000 scholar-
ship and in-kind scholarship
contributions from the Sher-
man College of Chiroprac-
tic. She will participate in the
Miss America competition in
December at Mohegan Sun
in Connecticut.
In her fi nal interview
question, Hayes was asked
how she would build stronger
relationships with local busi-
nesses and sponsors.
“Looking at the 75th anni-
versary of Miss Oregon,
what better brand than for
our brand to be hope,” Hayes
said. “After a year of coming
out with political tension and
global pandemic I believe it’s
very important that we pro-
duce hope, and as Miss Ore-
gon, it is my mission to help
involve other organizations
... and letting them know
what this organization is truly
about.”
Her fi rst act as Miss
Oregon?
“I’m going to go hug my
parents and cry,” she said.

the length of the Prom from
near the Tides looking north
to the estuary, circa 1935.
Five feet by 3 feet, printed on
canvas, details of the Prom
and the town can be seen.
The exhibit opens June 24
and runs through the end of
August.

dedication and centennial will
take place at the Turnaround

able to view during the Sea-

seeks feedback
to develop
programs
Clatsop County 4-H is
seeking community feed-
back as it looks to offer
new afternoon programs
for
underrepresented
teens.
People interested in
informing the organiza-
tion’s decisions are asked
to fill out a survey avail-
able at beav.es/3qk.
The programs would be
different from the usual
4-H offerings provided

organizers.
Oregon State Uni-

responses from as many
people in the commu-
nity as possible, adults
and teens alike. The sur-
vey responses will help
inform program priori-
ties, activities, topics and
locations.
