The Beta Kappa Chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha is sponsoring the contest and the winning Prince and Princess are determined by who raises the most money.
Funds raised will benefit various Beta Kappa Philanthropic Projects as well as ways and means. Some of the annual projects include support for Jackson County ARC, Provisions, Anchor House, Jackson County Special Olympics, CASA, Easter Seals and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
All contestants who turn in money will receive prizes, have their picture in The Tribune and will be eligible to ride in the Oktoberfest parade.
The crowned Prince and Princess will each receive a bicycle provided by Beta Kappa and other prizes.
