Miss   McHenry County  1987
Fourteen candidates for Miss McHenry County 1987 have begun the quest for the crown worn by Jackie Courtney of Marengo.
The 14 candidates met last week with Linda Borchart, chairman, to learn changes in judging because the Illinois Association of county Fairs has shifted its point scoring for the state contest. The change places more stress on stage presence and the interview with the judges and less on "face and figure," she said.
Borchart, Huntley, listed the practice schedule for the candidates and explained plans for the preliminary judging on July 15 at Chapel Hill Golf Club. The candidates enjoyed an outing earlier this week at the Red Cloud golf benefit wihich featured celebrity sports       , personalities in the fund¬ raiser.
Candidates will also appear in area parades, including Founders Day at Algonquin on July 25 and McHenry Fiesta Day on July 26. In the drawing for order of appear¬ ance, Keri Lyn McCarthy, Miss Fox River Grove, drew No. 1. Here is the official order for appearances before the
judges on July 15 and August 5:
1. Keri Lyn McCarthy, 16, Fox River Grove, daughter of Thomas and Karen McCarthy. Sponsored by the Fox River Grove Chamber of Commerce.
