Mr. Panther candidates ready to hit stage for 12th annual pageant

After weeks of dancing, drilling, and floor work, the Mr. Panther candidates had their final dress rehearsal on May 13, the night before their big performance tonight at 7 in the Wenatchee High School auditorium. In support of the Parker family, five seniors and five juniors will put on their biggest smiles and show off their humor and beachwear in their race for the purple panther crown.

Juniors John Kottkamp, Joe Sells, Christian Brandt-Sims, Dalton Sugg and Gavin Long will face off against seniors Bryce Newberry, Jackson Powell, Luis Sanchez, Matt Murray, and Trey Adams.

Tickets will be sold at the door for $8, and all proceeds will benefit the Parker family.
