The annual Mr. Foothill Pageant took place last Friday. It was an evening full of laughs, fun, and performances.
The show started off with a video of our beach boys: Sam Harrison, Nick Del, Pierce Kramer, Mason Delyea, Nick Jansen, Mark Joy, and David Gustafson.
Nick Del was definitely the highlight of the swimsuit contest, wearing a hula skirt and a coconut bra. During the formal round, the boys’ escorts shared personal stories about the contestants.
Sam Harrison’s mom talked about him always wanting to wear a yellow dress when he was younger.
In the next round, the judges asked questions to contestants which followed with Mason Delyea’s impression of Chewbacca. The talent round was the last moment for the beach boys to show everything they got. From Pierce Kramer’s cover of Smash Mouth’s “All Star” in a Shrek costume, to Mark Joy’s excellent drumming skills, they all blew the audience away.
Finally, the verdict. Pierce Kramer accepted third place with a big smile. Nick Del came in second by just one point. The title was awarded to David Gustafson, a young man born to claim his title and, according to his parents, always destined to be “the fun one.”
