Rossville's royalty to be crowned Friday evening

The Summers' End Festival Queen and King and Little Miss and Mister will be announced Friday evening during a special program at 6:30 in the Rossville School Multi-Purpose Room. All candidates will be introduced before the winners are crowned.

Winners are determined by the most money collected.
