The Coronation Ball, parade day participation, and the Colleen’s trip to Ireland, are made possible each year by many generous sponsors.  The beautiful gowns worn by the Colleen and her Court have been donated by Bridal Corner on Memorial Drive, Chicopee, since 1984. All participants in
the Colleen Contest are also eligible to apply for one of the scholarships awarded by the committee in June.
