Staff Reports

Diamond Bar – Applications are now being accepted from young ladies, ages 16 to 25, to participate in the 51^st Annual Miss Diamond Bar Pageant to be held on Sun., Mar. 29.

Since 1964, Miss Diamond Bar and her Court of Princesses have served as Ambassadors for the City of Diamond Bar, and as positive role models to the youth of the community.  These young ladies have balanced their school schedules and/or jobs, while maintaining a rigorous pageant agenda with more than 50 appearances each year.

The Pageant believes in promoting and enhancing the lives of its contestants through community service.  The young ladies who compete learn new skills to enhance their personal growth and enrich their social grace.  While the lucky Miss Diamond Bar and her Court win many prizes through the generosity of the community, they give back much more as community ambassadors.
