Looking a lot like Aunt Bee from The Andy Griffith Show, this illustrated lady beckons us to provide nominations for Mother's Day Queen of Menasha. The promotion lasted throughout the 60's as a means to generate business and interest among the Menasha merchants. Of course, prizes awarded were from those same Menasha merchants and there was some interplay with advertising, etc. I personally remember the queen riding in the Prospectors' Day parade but I'm not sure what other duties she might have had. We first touched upon this contest back in 2013: http://menashabook.blogspot.com/2013/05/happy-mothers-day.html.
