Angels Camp, CA…(Frogtown, USA)…Seven accomplished young women from across Calaveras County vied for the title of Miss Calaveras County 2017 at the 2017 Miss Calaveras County Pageant. These young women participated in four phases of competition, including a personal interview, a health and fitness demonstration, a talent segment, and an evening gown speech. The winner Jillian Salvitti now joins history, as 2017 celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Miss Calaveras program, which began as the Belle of the Camp competition in 1937. Former Miss Calaveras winners – also known as “frog queens” – were part of a special opening presentation, walking the stage in their tiaras once again to celebrate the program’s legacy.
