Doo Dah Queen tryouts slated for May 25
By Terry Miller
It’s that time again. The Doo Dah Parade is coming November 15 and you know what that means…They need a Queen. Male or Female. Beast or Burden. Whatever floats your boat.
The annual hunt for the new Doo Dah Queen has defied logic for hundreds of years and yet the global search has netted some fabulous and memorable queens- not soon to be forgotten.
Take Queen Naughty Mickey…..who would have thought a sword wielding belly dancing reporter…would want to be Queen. Not only did she want it….she LIVES it, still to this day years after she was crowned. Forever, the lovely Naughty Mickie will always be a Doo Dah Queen.
Each year American Legion Post 280 hosts the tryouts for the worldwide search for the new Doo Dah Queen. The daunting task of selecting the Queen, takes place May 25 at the Legion Hall by a select group of individuals with highly questionable tastes and backgrounds but nonetheless have already scoped out their judging tables and will not leave until their decision is recorded for posterity.

The requirements, which are few ( in fact none) involves dressing up a wee bit, putting on a convincing reason why you should be Queen and perhaps show a little flesh.
