The pageant, sponsored by Waynesburg Lions Club and Waynesburg Sewing Center, will take place on the main stage in front of the grandstand.
The pageant is a non-competitive event for girls ages 5 to 8 with the participants appearing in patriotic attire while being interviewed on stage.
Little Miss Firecracker is determined when each contestant draws a wrapped flower from a basket, with the off-colored flower determining the new queen for 2015.
The winner will receive a crown, sash, trophy and bouquet. Each contestant receives a participation medal.
The 2014 Little Miss Firecracker, Emma Mae Lawson, daughter of Charles and Samantha Lawson, will crown the new queen. The contestants for 2015 will rehearse Friday at 6 p.m. on the stage.
They include Gloria Ann Evans, daughter of Sally Lemley and John Evans of Waynesburg; Erin Elizabeth Harbarger, daughter of Lane and Sioux Harbarger of Carmichaels; Chloe Marie Lawson, daughter of Charles and Samantha Lawson of Waynesburg; Madison Loughner, daughter of Bryan and Cathy Loughner of Spraggs; and Kendra Elizabeth Tharp and Marissa Sue Tharp, both daughters of Natasha and Cory Tharp of Wind Ridge.
