Wilma Thompson, a Hopkins County native, was crowned Ms. Hopkins County Senior Classic back in June and met her public Saturday atop a red convertible with Tammy Wilburn at the wheel during the Fall Festival Parade. Last month, Wilma also earned the designation of Second Runner-Up in the State Ms. Senior Classic Pageant.
Wilma will wear her crown and make public appearances through the holidays and early 2022 until summer when the next local pageant is staged. Local ladies age 60 and older can compete in the Ms. Hopkins County Senior Classic Pageant by getting in contact with Karon Weatherman at the Sulphur Springs Seniors Center, 150 Martin Luther King Drive. There is no fee to enter.
