Anyone for Little Miss Monongahfest?

You can’t have a Little Miss Monongahfest contest is no one applies for the job.

Debbie Manzo Vandetta, Class of 1973, a former Monongah High cheerleader who is married to Monongah Mayor Greg Vandetta, writes:

“Little Miss MONONGAHFEST applications are at the MONONGAH water office. Please stop by and pick one up. Last year we didn't have one because there weren't enough girls to participate. Please pass the word!! We are going to teach the girls a dance to perform also.”
