Photo notes
The above photos were taken by me at the annual Lilac Festival in Calgary on May 30, 2010. Fleck appeared wearing her Miss Calgary 2010 sash and crown, in the parade that kicks off the festival, which runs along 4 Street SW. She was part of a group of title holders from pageants run by the Patti Falconer Model and Talent Agency.
