for the evening were Torre and Denise Raap and Steve and Peggy Simon. Bill Schuelke was the MC.
• Each of the contestants was asked a question by the judges. The field was then narrowed to four finalists: Miss Chastity Kampa, Miss Delores Ringgenberg, Miss Candy Dunker and Miss Augusta Kleinsasser Schuelke. The finalists were sequestered and brought on stage one at a time to perform one final act.
• Due to a misprinting of the notice in the golf course newsletter, which stated that "a crowing of the new Miss Olive Grove would take place at the Saturday evening celebration," each finalist was asked to give their best crow. The responses had most of the audience laughing throughout the performance.
• In the end, the judges had a hard time deciding on a winner and ended up naming not only a "Queen" but also a runner-up.  While the judges were debating, the MC, Bill Schuelke, reminded the contestants to behave. He wanted no fighting or sore losers when the winner was announced. Miss Augusta Kleinsasser Schuelke was the runner-up and Miss Delores Ringgenberg was named the new Miss Olive Grove.
• Two talent group acts entertained the audience during the evening. The first was synchronized swimming act performed by Shorty Fliehs, Randy Stanley, Bob Walters, Skippy Kettering, Steve Dunker and Jerry Johnson. The second act was a singing duet performed by "Sonny & Cher" (Austin Schuelke and Katie Kampa).
• The evening ended with a fundraising auction. The golf course auctioned off the original wooden signs that had marked each hole. The signs stated what hole it was, what the par was and the lay out of the hole. Only the signs for holes 1-8 were auctioned. The golf course kept the sign for the ninth hole.
• Steve Simon of Simon Auction Service did the auctioneering. Bidding was brutal on a couple of the signs. Holes one and eight marked the beginning and the ending of the auction and saw some fierce bidding action. Hole four also proved to be a favorite hole and saw an aggressive bidding war, it seemed several people have scored a hole-in-one on that hole and wanted the sign as a remembrance. At one point, when a bidder asked who was bidding against him, Simon remarked that "There are no friends at an auction!" The auction raised $8900 for the golf course.
