Finally finished the Narcissus Archiving

Still dealing with some sort of nerve or muscle irritant. Walking real weird right now. Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon.

Spent almost 20 hours scanning a multitude of Narcissus Souvenir books and who knows how many hours creating the layouts and posters. It was a challenge to get it done in less than a month but hopefully all those who get to see it at the Coronation Ball will have good memories of the years past.

Here's some of the stuff that was done:

1. Court Photos - mostly scanned from the old souvenir books.



2. Contestants Posters - Some posters were still intact but others needed to be recreated such as this one.



Then the Narcissus Souvenir Book Covers - 59 Covers total of which I've photographed a little over half of them.




And lastly, memoribilia posters such as this one which featured sisters who ran in the pageant. There was even a Mother/Daughter combo.



To view the whole set, stop by the Narcissus Coronation Ball at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Coral Ballroom on Saturday, January 26 starting about 6:00 pm.

The Complete Set will also be on line once the Coronation Ball is completed.
