Becoming a Pepper Fest King

The Pepper Fest King acts as an ambassador along with the young ladies that will be selected for the positions of Queen and Princesses each year.  Formerly known as the Godfather in the early years of Pepper Fest, the King must live in the Hudson School District, and is chosen confidentially by the Pepper Fest Board.  The King is then revealed at the Coronation.

Do you want to be a King?  Do you know someone who does?
The Board accepts nominations!
