The third annual Das Festival of Kendall brings the return of the Queen Pageant, a staple of years past under Berges Fest, the forerunner of Das Festival.
Das Festival organizers are resurrecting the family-oriented German heritage celebration and with it comes the Queen Pageant.
Berges Fest ran for 64 years before it ended.
The Queen Coronation is set for 6 p.m. Friday on Main Plaza downtown, on the festival’s opening night. The festival runs June 19-21. Three girls have been crowned in their respective age group and debut June 19.
The information on the festival’s royalty is conveyed via the wording of a press release:
• Queen, High School, Trinity Wangen.
Known for her nurturing heart and love for children, Trinity Wangen spends much of her time babysitting for families in the community and volunteering through her church.
A senior this fall at (Boerne-)Champion High School, she has also dedicated time volunteering at a local elementary preschool, where she discovered a deeper appreciation for mentoring and caring for young children.
Because she’s proud of her Norwegian heritage, she is currently learning both Norwegian and German to strengthen her connection to her family roots and cultural background.
She values family, faith, kindness and personal growth, and hopes to use her experiences to inspire others to embrace both ambition and compassion.
