The Selection Evening

The 2008 Sandown Carnival Queen selection evening was again a huge success thanks to over 60 young ladies from the age of 9 and above attending a nightclub atmosphere at Colonel Bogeys. 4 judges had to pick 6 queens to represent Sandown this year, and in addition 20 extra girls were chosen to become a dancing entourage to surround this year's float in the local carnivals. The judges comments on "how difficult it is each year to pick a handful of girls from so many who have the exact qualities we're looking for! We hope everyone had a good time at Colonel Bogeys".

Sandown Carnival Association would like to thank every girl who attended the evening and hope that they will attend 'Mas Fusion' to still enter the carnival in costumes found at the top of Sandown High Street - ask for Sharon or Jill
