00:01Berwick and Tweed officials are appealing for former Salmon Queens to come forward as the town
00:06prepares to mark the 80th annual crowning. The tradition began in 1947 celebrating the
00:12importance of Salmon to the local economy. The Mayor says past Queens and attendants are being
00:18sought to help record memories for local archives. This year's event will see the crowning take
00:23place on Friday the 17th of July, followed by a parade on Sunday the 19th. 16-year-old Kate
00:30Nickel, who is the current reigning queen, said the role had opened up many opportunities.
00:36Organizers stress the role is not a beauty contest, but recognizes confidence and community spirit.
