Jr. Miss and Miss queens will be required to participate in the Wildflower Trails parades for all three towns.

All queens are encouraged to participate in as many parades as possible.

The scholarship recipient, regardless of crown, will be awarded to the highest combined points contestant in the combined Jr. Miss and Miss divisions who lives in one of the three Wildflower Trail towns: Linden, Avinger, or Hughes Springs.
