The annual carnival king and queen of carnival contest scheduled for September 2nd is going to be all about the biggest and best costumes. But this Saturday two carnival queens will be chosen and it won't be about size or style, it will be about talent. For the second year the Carnival Committee will be selecting a Miss Junior and Senior Carnival.
