To kick off the New Year, Bellaire High School will host its fourth annual Mr. Bellaire pageant contest. The event will take place Jan. 28 in the Bellaire auditorium. Twenty-five senior male contestants will compete for the title, accompanied by 25 senior female escorts. The contest includes a costume, beachwear, talent and formal attire section, as well as performances by Bellaire’s eMotion Dance Company and the Belles Dance Team. Radio host Sam Malone will be our emcee for the evening, and two men and two woman from the Bellaire community will be judging, including Leslie Lerner, a Bellaire alumni and Jane Dembski, the retiring director of Parks and Recreation.
