Arnoldsburg School would like to announce the King and Queen candidates for the 2001 Molasses Festival. Each year AES homerooms select the boy and girl that will represent their homeroom for the festival. Candidates campaign for the title of King and Queen by collecting pennies for votes, often resulting in thousands of dollars raised each year. The PTO uses profit from the campaign to fund projects that benefit students such as furniture and equipment, supplemental textbooks, playground equipment, and holiday parties.

Monies will be collected between now and 11 a.m. on September 25. Candidates will practice for the coronation ceremony at Arnoldsburg School at 1:30 on September 26, assisted by Coronation Coordinator, Chrissy Johnson. The Coronation Ceremony announcing the 2001 Molasses Festival King and Queen will be held at 6 p.m. at the park.
