The spirit of Miss RetroFest lives on this year in the personage of Miss Crystaline, this year’s winner of the third annual contest.
A panel of judges from 11 entries chose Crystaline Wilcox and voting is now ongoing for the People’s Choice.
More than 1,000 votes have been cast and voting continues until 11 a.m. Saturday. To vote, go to

Jaclyn Gillier, Miss Retrofest organizer said winners of the contest display the style and attitude of retro fashion and elegance.
“It’s about style but it’s also about attitude,” she said. “There is a certain combination of classy, girl-next-door, love-to-ride in a convertible characteristic,” she said.
“It’s a great addition to a great event.”
Submissions required a photo of the contestant dressed in retro fashions and a few words on why they love being “retro”.
All contestants are part of a special display inside the mall that will recognize the ladies leading up to the RetroFest weekend.
The winner will receive a VIP treatment during RetroFest which includes riding as a guest of honour in the OLG Classic Car Cruise, a personal stylist and shopping spree at Suzy Shier, retro make-over from The Hair Studio at Sears and Gloss Wedding Make-up & Esthetics, a pin-up inspired photo shoot with April Colby Photography, and will present plaques at the Retrofest award ceremony.
