She must further agree not to take part in any contest during her reign, except for the Queen of Queens. It is understood that she will be expected to make in and out of state trips to promote MB Harvest Festival as directed by the MB Harvest Festival Committee. She will receive no salary for such travel, but her authorized expenses will be paid. AUTHORIZED TRIPS FOR MB HARVEST FESTIVAL QUEEN The following are festivals in the state for which the MBM Harvest Festival Queen is required to attend. She is encouraged to attend all other festivals for which the queen receives invitations. The festivals are: Cal-Cam Fair/Sulphur, Railroad/DeQuincy, Frog/Rayne, Family, Food, and Fun/Westlake, Cajun Music Festival/Lake Charles, Mayhaw/Starks, Raylane/Rayne, La. Cattle/Abbeyville, Mardi Gras/Lake Charles, Sulphur Heritage/Sulphur, Ragley Heritage and Timber/Ragley, La. Please check with the coordinator for other festivals and dates. This is open for change. But we would like you to travel to at least 12 events in your year as Queen. A cash scholarship for attending the required festivals will be the total commitment of the MB Harvest Festival. This amount will be paid at the end of her reign. The queen is required to turn in receipts and expenses for traveling to and from required festivals, or send a letter stating what activities have been done that month for the betterment of the MB Harvest Festival. The MB Harvest Festival Committee must approve all invitations for appearances by the MB Harvest Queen. Commercial invitations are usually accepted. Political invitations are not acceptable. The MB Harvest Festival Committee makes the final decision. If requested by the MB Harvest Festival Committee to make a special appearance on behalf of the MB Harvest Festival- the MB Harvest Festival will pay the queens expenses. The MB Harvest Festival will provide the queen with 100 business cards and pay for a sitting fee for her official photograph, and One (8x10) color photograph to be displayed at the MB Harvest Festival and to be kept on file for other displays. During her reign, the custom crown and formal banner are to be worn only when required to be in "full attire". Same goes for the train and mantle. There will be a crown box (given back at the end of her reign) provided by the MB Harvest Festival, for the custom crown to be transported. If the queen wishes to have a play banner, she may purchase one herself, but must be approved by the MB Harvest Festival Committee. The MB Harvest Festival will pay for no other expenses incurred, other than those provided for in these guidelines. The MB Harvest Festival Queen will also be responsible for the train and mantle.
