Contestants take on beaver personalities: Fur Pelton John, the Beave +Whisperer, and Furrabella-Conchita Carramba. As with every Beauty Queen +Pageant, the contestants introduce themselves in their wetlands ready wear, +showcase their unique talent, and participate in an interview in their finest +evening wear. Beav Aldrin, the 2014 Queen, performed an aerial routine on +silks. Furrah Gnawsett-Major, the 2012 Queen, played the Star Wars theme on the +clarinet while hula hooping. + +[13]The Beaver Lodge 1504 organized a formal pageant in April 2005 to celebrate +a successful community effort by the Duke Park neighborhood to stop the NC +Department of Transportation from eradicating a den of beavers that had taken +up residence in wetlands north of I-85. Now, the Beaver Queen Pageant serves as +a fundraiser for the [14]Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association (ECWA). + + + +WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE OF EVENTS? + +The 2024 Beaver Queen Pageant is Saturday, June 1st from 4-7 PM in [15]Duke +Park Meadow across from the dog park. We'll start at 4 PM with Pre-pageant +Activities (think fairy tails, etc, PARADE (4:45pm), and more!) The pageant +will begin at 5 PM. There will be activities for the kits, food trucks, a +lemonade stand, and a Locopops cart. + + + +HOW DO I GET THERE? + +The pageant is located in the meadow of Duke Park near the intersection of +Englewood Ave and Acadia Street. Please consider walking, biking, bussing, or +carpooling to the pageant this year! + +GoDurham Route 4 will can drop you off at the back of Duke Park (instersection +of Roxborro and Knox).

Walk, ride your bike, +or carpool if you can! Wear a costume (with a tail!) if you want! Bring cash or +a credit card to buy merch (shirts, totes, pins, car magnets, and more!) and +votes ($5/vote). + + + +IS THE BEAVER QUEEN PAGEANT REALLY FAMILY-FRIENDLY? + +Yes, the pageant is a hit with kids of all ages due to the outrageous costumes +and fun performances. While there will be plenty of puns and double entendre +about the multiple meanings of “beaver”, it is usually far too subtle for most +young fans. + + + +HOW IS IT A FUNDRAISER? + +Our fabulous [21]business sponsors make generous contributions. Please support +them leading up to pageant! + +You can make a financial contribution to support ECWA by [22]voting for your +favorite beaver character.

You can vote online anytime +between now and the day of the event! + + + +WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE BEAVER QUEEN PAGEANT? + +This year is the Beaver Queen Pageant’s 20^th year. The event is uniquely +Durham: a mash-up of community, creativity, playfulness, and advocacy for a +cause. + +The first event was held in April of 2005 in celebration of a successful +community effort by the Duke Park neighborhood to stop the NC Department of +Transportation from eradicating a den of beavers that had taken up residence in +wetlands north of I-85. Beverly Woody was crowned the first Beaver Queen +following an amazing clog dancing routine. + +The following year 6 people wanted to compete for the crown of Beaver Queen and +The Beaver Lodge Local 1504 organized a formal pageant for the multitudes. +Celebrity judges and bribes became the norm. Since the beginning well over 50 +people of many genders, races, and orientations have competed for the coveted +Beaver Queen crown and a uniquely Durham tradition has grown. The Pageant +typically raises about $25,000 for ECWA. + +We’ve even had our first interspecies Queen: Miz Polly Nator was crowned the +2015 Beaver Queen and helped make Durham a Bee City. This national designation +raises awareness about the many contributions of bees and other pollinators to +the environment and food system. + +You can watch previous year's Beaver Queen Pageants on the [23]Beaver Lodge +Youtube Channel. + +[27][Vote!] +Each share, tweet, and email helps us spread the word about Ellerbe Creek +Watershed Association. + +[28] Share [29] Tweet [30] Email +You've Helped Raise +Thank you to our sponsors + + [31]Our Facebook Page + +[32] Swell Fundraising, LLC + © 2024 Swell Fundraising, LLC.
