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.

Ambassador Energy Ramps Up Their Solar Training Programs and Installation Teams to Keep Pace with PACE, the Country’s Newest Way to Pay for Solar PV
Murrieta, CA (PRWEB) July 12, 2012
Ambassador Energy, a Murrieta-based solar training and installation firm, is answering the call from consumers, who want to take advantage of low-interest solar financing, and from other solar companies who want to train their employees.
“We train a lot of solar professionals,” said Catherine Kelso, Ambassador Energy College’s Director of Training. “NABCEP [North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners] is the gold standard for solar installers and sellers. We are accredited to teach and test for NABCEP EL and NABCEP Continuing Education. Locally, we are seeing an increase in interest from those already in the solar industry and from those wanting to get into it. I think that financing programs like HERO make a great impact in driving interest to our industry.”
“Consumers are equally interested,” said John Wilson, VP of Business Development for Ambassador Energy. “Property owners who have as little as 10% equity in their homes or commercial buildings now have an easy-qualifying way to finance solar. The program doesn’t rely on typical finance qualifiers like credit scores or debt-to-income ratios. All they look at is the customer having 10% equity and being current on property taxes and mortgage payments. In this economy, it’s really a terrific way to pay for solar, realize an income tax break and start saving on utility costs right away.”
Western Riverside County’s HERO program was recently listed as a “Top 10 Green Building Policies” program by the U.S. Green Building Council. In addition, it won the President’s Award for Excellence from the Southern California Association of Governments.
