A NEW QUEEN will be crowned at the Dimbulah Lions Festival tomorrow night.

Two young Dimbulah woman, Chelsea De Lai and Laura Westwood, will vie for the crown as part of the 50th queen quest hosted by the Dimbulah Lions.

Joining the long-standing competition are this year's junior prince entrants, Reid Bassani and Dylan Martel Brown and princess entrants Charlotte Clarke, Kasidee Bell, Emma Withers, Ava Martin, Addison De Lai, and Gracie Cummings.

The junior entrants have been actively fundraising in the community with money raised going to the Lions Club, who in return help projects within the community.

The Lions festival is Dimbulah’s biggest annual event, with a street parade, food, entertainment and fireworks lighting up the town up for the night.

Junior Charity Prince and Princess entrants

The charity contest is for the youngest members of the Dimbulah community. The entrants have been busy selling raffle tickets for the Dimbulah Lions Club for the past couple of months. The participants who raise the most money will be crowned at the festival this Saturday.
