Miss Sasquatch Queen

At the Sasquatch Winter Carnival in Saskatchewan, they annually elected a "Miss Sasquatch Queen." Laura Medland, below, was the 1969 winner. Note the Sasquatch patch she's wearing.

And there seems to have been a rival Miss Sasquatch contest: the Sasquatch queen pageant held at the Regina Inn. Dona Doan, below, won that title in 1969.

So, in 1969 there were two Sasquatch Queens in Saskatchewan.

Psssst! Miss Doan was the 1968 Queen. There is a Bigfoot Queen Contest still going on I think.
