Fall Festival Queen Candidates, ca. 1956

Our web master was a little concerned about putting a photo of scantily-clad young women on the TLC website -- we don't want to get a reputation as a porn site! However, Your Faithful Scribe assured him that only very sophisticated, mature people visit this web site!

Can you identify the young women, verify the year, and perhaps tell us the sponsoring organizations? The first person to supply the correct (or even plausible) answers will receive a free subscription to TLC!!!
