the Queen Scheherazade Scholarship Pageant at the
Fairgrounds in Indio. The Fullenwider Auditorium was
transformed into a scene out of the 1001 Arabian
Nights, as three young women were chosen to
represent the Fair as the Queen and her Court.
Thirteen young ladies competed for their chance to be
crowned queen; scholarship amounts range from
$3,000 to $3,500. The ladies were previously
interviewed by judges in an elimination round in
October and during the Pageant gave a speech in
business attire, answered questions in evening gowns
and in traditional Arabian costumes. The 2013 court
winners are Madisce Givens for Queen Scheherazade, Lina El-Mahmoud for Princess Dunyazade, and
