Slug Queens of Eugene
Every September in Eugene, Oregon, the bravest and brashest of beauties don their finest, tune their voices and rachet up their eccentricity... all with the same dream before them: to be crowned Queen.
Not just any queen, mind you, but Eugene's Slug Queen. An honor beyond compare for locals with a heightened sense of humor and fashion.
There are many community duties of a Eugene Slug Queen, the first of which is to master a queenly wave from the Slug Court's float at the Eugene Celebration Parade.
This year's Slug Queen competition took place at the Saturday Market stage. There were only four contestants involved, but a court full of "Old Queens" kept the audience rolling till dusk.
“Hope to see you there next year!”
