Lilac Queen Juggles Busy Schedule
Growing up with four brothers meant tea parties were few and far between for Meghan Long. So being surrounded by little girls dressed as princesses at the Spokane Lilac Festival Association Royal Tea Party last month was especially delightful. The Ferris senior was crowned Lilac Queen on Jan. 25 (pictured). “It didn’t seem real,” she said, recalling the moment when last year’s queen, Kaylee Pearson, announced her name. But the culmination of months of hard work and preparation was very real. “It’s a scholarship program, not a beauty pageant,” Long said. “There’s no swimsuit or talent competition”/Cindy Hval, SR.
