TAHLEQUAH, OKLAHOMA - The Cherokee Nation is seeking information on former Little Miss and Mister Cherokee winners, first and second runners-up.

"I would like to invite them to this year’s Little Miss and Mister Cherokee event," said Joyce Bunch, contest coordinator.

Bunch will also be putting together a display board with pictures and biographical information on the former winners. The board will be displayed at this year’s Little Miss and Mister Cherokee contest, to be held August 2 at 4 and 6 p.m. at the Sequoyah High School gymnasium.

This year’s Holiday theme, "Celebrating the Great State of Sequoyah," commemorates Indian Territory and the state that almost was.
