Farmington FD Beauty Pageant
The first womanless beauty pageant and fundraiser was
held by Farmington Volunteer Fire Department, in Egg Harbor Township on

memorable evening. The men, all dressed in feminine attire, had a talent
contest, an evening wear competition and a question/answer session. When the
