Author Miss Mardi Gras Drag Queen Pageant Finds Their King and Grand Marshall for Big Event Organized by CMJ Productions and Downtown Dunedin Merchant’s Association
Tampa Bay, FL (PRWEB) February 05, 2015
It is the time of year again for the annual Miss Mardi Gras Pageant, a night full of big wigs, glamour and evening gowns. Female impersonators from around the area will gather to compete for the title of Miss Mardi Gras Queen. Coming up on its 24 year run, this pageant was created by Bob Moore of Kelly’s, Chica-a-boom Room, and Blur Nightclub in Dunedin to add a new element to their yearly event: the Dunedin Mardi Gras.
Miss Mardi Gras is the longest running female impersonation pageant in Florida. While it is usually all about the queens, the rest of the royal line-up has been announced for CMJ’s big event. Dave Eggers, the former Mayor of Dunedin and current Pinellas County Commissioner, has been chosen as the King and escort for the Miss Mardi Gras Queen, while Chuck Henson from the local Bay News 9 team has been knighted the title of Grand Marshall. The winner of the Miss Mardi Gras pageant will ride in the Mardi Gras parade and also perform for guests after the parade ends. Other entertainment and activities after the parade include:
Performances from Applebutter Express, Nathan & the Zyedeco Cha Chas and more;
Jugglers, caricature artists and street performers;
Bands on three stages.
Blur Nightclub will be hosting the pageant on February 15 and locals can use this time to purchase VIP tickets for the parade that will be on February 17. The annual Dunedin Mardi Gras Parade is expecting thousands of both local and outside citizens to participate in the family-friendly festivities. With music starting at the Pioneer Park pavilion around 4 p.m., the parade sets off at 7:30 p.m. featuring over 50 unique floats while beads are being tossed from every angle into the crowd.
Additionally, several elected officials from other areas will ride in the parade to tie in with event’s “Tampa Bay’s Mardi Gras” inclusion effort. The Downtown Dunedin Merchant’s Association (DDMA) and City of Dunedin Commissioners will also be riding together on a float during the event.
The Miss Mardi Gras Pageant serves to promote Dunedin to a wide and diverse group of people. Guests of the parade and pageant are encouraged to book accommodations at host hotel Beso Del Sol Resort for ease of access to the event.

Nine Ways to Enjoy a Grand Junction Winter
Grand Junction, Colorado (PRWEB) December 04, 2012
Grand Junction, Colo. – Colorado’s western side is a treasure trove of well-kept winter secrets. In a region known for world-class skiing, the Grand Junction area adds wineries, prehistoric monsters, scenic drives, and Western culture to make for an unforgettable winter getaway. And unlike other Colorado winter destinations, Grand Junction’s mild winter climate (53 degree year round average) lets you enjoy four seasons of activities — all winter!
Here are just a few ideas to round out a winter visit:
Grand Mesa: The world’s largest flat-topped mountain – the Grand Mesa – covers some 500 square miles just east of Grand Junction. A prime summer destination for hiking, biking, and boating, during the winter the mesa offers visitors miles and miles of excellent backcountry skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling, as well as groomed Nordic tracks.
Powderhorn Resort: Nestled against the side of the Grand Mesa and less than an hour’s drive from downtown Grand Junction, Powderhorn Resort offers an intimate skiing experience for skiers of all ages and abilities. The mountain features 1,600 skiable acres with 63 trails, five lifts, three terrain parks, and spectacular views of alpine forests and red rock desert.
Explore Colorado’s history (and prehistory): Grand Junction is home to two truly unique museums. The Museum of the West takes visitors back to the “real wild West” of Anasazi ancestors, early settlers, and the economic development of the west, with interactive displays that take you right into adobe houses, one-room schoolhouse, and even a full-size uranium mine. Go even further back in time at the Dinosaur Journey Museum, where hands-on interactive displays use real fossils, cast skeletons and robotic reconstructions of dinosaurs to bring Colorado’s prehistoric denizens to life.
Colorado National Monument: There are so many ways to enjoy the stunning red rock canyons of Colorado National Monument during the winter. The 23-mile Rim Rock Drive is the only paved road through the Monument, climbing from the Grand Valley floor up onto the Uncompahgre Plateau. Although portions of the park may be closed to car traffic during the winter, much of the closed road and unpaved trails are open – and uncrowded – for hiking and snowshoeing.
Golf: The Grand Valley’s mild winter temperatures and sunny days make it one of the few places in the world where you can ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon. And with 90 holes in 5 outstanding courses, you can pick your game!
Biking: Sunny days also keep a good portion of local bike trails free of ice and snow. Bicycles are permitted on the open portions of Colorado National Monument’s Rim Rock Drive when snow plowing is not in operation. Trails in the Fruita area offer spectacular views of the Colorado River; favorite loops include Mary’s, Rustler’s, Horsethief Bench, and Steve’s. The Riverfront Trails system includes paved and unpaved trails of varying difficulty in and around Grand Junction, Fruita and Palisade.
After the Harvest: During the winter, the vineyards of Colorado Wine Country are quiet, but many of their wineries and tasting rooms are still offering a taste of summer. Several area limousine services offer guided half and full-day tours; if planning your own tour, be sure to call ahead to inquire about winter hours.
Retail Therapy: Downtown Grand Junction a great place to shop, with more than 100 locally-owned and independent businesses, including Benges (Colorado’s oldest operating women’s shoe store) and Colorado’s favorite candy store, Enstrom, which still offers toffee made with the same recipe from the store’s beginnings 60 years ago. Sidewalk cafes and the streetside sculpture exhibits of Grand Junction’s Art on the Corner program round out the whole shopping experience.
Grand Junction by Harley: From the nearby Colorado National Monument and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park further south, or lesser-known local rides, the expansive scenery and winding roads of the Grand Junction area have made it a year-round favorite among bikers. Flying or driving in? The local Harley showroom offers rentals and can suggest a route to match your taste for adventure.
About Grand Junction (http://www.visitgrandjunction.com)
Nestled near 11,000-foot Grand Mesa and the 7,500-foot Book Cliffs, Grand Junction is the largest city in western Colorado. At an altitude of 4,586 feet, warm summers and moderate spring, fall and winter seasons allow for year-round golf, hiking and biking. Boasting more than 275 days of sunshine annually, Grand Junction recently was named one of the eight sunniest cities in the United States by TourismReview.com. Among Grand Junction’s spectacular red cliffs and winding canyons are the Grand Mesa, the world’s largest flat-topped mountain, the Colorado National Monument, Bookcliff Wild Horse Area, two national scenic byways and five golf courses. Grand Junction lies in the heart of the Colorado-Utah Dinosaur Diamond. The area also is home to Colorado’s wine country, with nearly 30 vineyards and wineries.
