The pageant was held in the Fairview High School auditorium. The pageant was open to “super seniors,” aged 70-79 and “seniors,” aged 60-69. Pageant Director Gidget Gregory said the sisterhood was definitely evident this year. “It was actually overheard backstage, one saying, ‘I hope she wins,’” Gregory said. “They all loved the American theme, with the touch of Dolly Parton added to it.” The ladies were scored in the categories of interview, fun fashion, active wear, evening gown and on-stage question. “There were five ladies competing in the Ms. Senior Cullman County division and three ladies competing in the Ms. Super Senior Cullman County division,” Gregory said. “We are so excited for the things to come. We plan to rest a few days and then get back at again with prepping with the new queens for state.” The pageant was founded by the late Betty Leeth Haynes. Gregory said after being crowned Ms. Senior Alabama in 1997, Haynes was inspired to give other ladies in Cullman County a similar opportunity. Thus the pageant

Emily Sollie making her own name with Gadsden City flag football

Growing up, Emily Sollie was stuck having to catch passes and run routes for her older brother, Sam. It worked out well for the now-junior quarterback for Gadsden City football as he's committed to Auburn. For a while, though, it seemed catching passes for Sam was just the kind of younger sibling duty that Emily got stuck doing. Then the siblings moved to Gadsden City and Emily had a chance to take all that knowledge and training and use it on the same football field Sam started starred on. She joined the Titans' flag football program ahead of the 2025 season. "I was really excited to the join the team, I though it was so much fun and it looks fun too," Emily Sollie said. Now, she's starting both ways at receiver and linebacker/safety for the Titans who ended the regular season 11-2 and took home the first region title in the program's four-year history. For her mom, Jenny Sollie, Emily's growth in flag football is just one of many ways she has seen her daughter grow since moving from Westbrook Christian. "It's so fun to watch her just bloom in her own ways," Jenny said. "She's really come into
