Ally Beaty and Alexis Brown have been friends since their elementary school days.

Now the Lakeside seniors will both be competing for the title of Miss Peanut Festival this weekend in Dothan. Alexis says she can’t think of anyone she’d want to share this occasion with than her schoolmate and friend.

“Who better to go to Peanut with than your best friend?” said Alexis.

The girls departed for Dothan Thursday and will spend the weekend participating in verbal communication and evening gown competitions. The Miss National Peanut Festival pageant will be held at the Dothan Civic Center.

The dream of becoming Miss National Peanut Festival has been in the friends’ sights for a long while. Alexis has longed to compete for the title ever since her little sister competed for Little Miss Peanut Festival. Alexis won the title of Miss Barbour County this spring. She and Ally will compete against 49 other beauties this weekend.
