Theme for this year’s parade is “The Spirit of Giving.”

The state’s new titleholder is no stranger to Attala County as she visits frequently with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Brunt in McCool. Her parents are Tommy and Felicia Tadlock of Brandon.

Anna is a graduate of Northwest Rankin High School in Brandon and graduated in May summa cum laude 2008 from Mississippi State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication.

She is currently a member of the choir at First Baptist Church in Jackson and is a worship leader for Static, a small Bible study group for young singles in the Jackson metro area.

During her reign as Miss Mississippi, Anna’s platform is promoting the importance of music education for children. As a Miss America contestant she will be promoting the Children’s Miracle Network, which is the national platform adopted by the Miss America Organization.

Kosciusko-Attala Development Corp. officials said entry forms for the parade are now being accepted. Categories are: Float; Antique Vehicle; Band, Government; Queen (must furnish vehicle); Motorcycle; Other (horses, walking groups, participating vehicles not being judged).

Deadline for entry is Nov. 16.
