Village recognizes Vernon Hills pageant winners and opens 2026 applications
Summary
The village president and pageant directors recognized local pageant winners (including Little Miss Lake County) and announced applications for the 2026 Vernon Hills pageant are available through May 29; the pageant will be June 20 at the Sullivan Center.
President Cook congratulated Karen and Haley Kalinowski, co‑directors of the Vernon Hills pageant, and recognized local winners who competed in the Lake County pageant. The board invited a Little Miss Lake County winner, Jimena, to speak briefly about her favorite part of the pageant.
Karen Kalinowski told the board that Victoria Burda placed first runner‑up for Miss Lake County and that Little Miss (Jimena) won the Lake County title. The co‑directors announced that applications for the 2026 Vernon Hills pageant are available at thevernonhillspageant.com, are open to local young people ages 6–21, close May 29 at 5 p.m., and that the pageant is scheduled for June 20 at 1 p.m. at the Sullivan Center. The president thanked the directors for their work.
Procedural note: the remarks were part of the president’s report and were presented as community recognition, not an agenda vote.
