The 2026 Miss Brook Park, Junior Miss Brooke Park and Princess pageant, set for July 11, is now open for applications. The event, which began in the 1980s, has become a longstanding community tradition celebrating young residents and offers opportunities beyond the competition. The pageant participants are judged on qualities that reflect leadership and community involvement. The annual mother-son dance is set to take place on May 8 at the Brook Park Recreation Center, with the theme "You're My Superhero" being chosen by Assistant Director Amanda Mendoza. Tickets for the event are available for $35 per couple, with an additional $10 for each additional child.
