Hello!

I cannot express how excited I am about the upcoming year as your Miss Fountain City! What a privilege it will be to represent the city of Prattville, my “hometown,” at the Miss Alabama Pageant and in day-to-day life!

My platform, The Pursuit of Character, is a perfect match with the city of Prattville, which became the second city in the state of Alabama to be named a “character city” by the International Association of Character Cities. It is my hope that over the next year, I will be instrumental in helping to develop the character of our community – especially in our school system. I am thrilled to announce that, in January, we will launch a youth character council, whose mission will be to promote good character in the classroom and in life among our young people. Great things are happening in the city of Prattville, and I am honored to take part!

As your representative, I want you to get to know me better over this next year, so I will be blogging my experiences as Miss Fountain City right here on the website. I will be writing about various community appearances as well as my journey to and experiences at the Miss Alabama Pageant in June. So make sure you check back in from time to time to catch all the updates!

Looking forward to the days ahead!

Jaye

The Fountain Behind The Title

Long before Prattville became "The Preferred Community," it was known as "The Fountain City" because of its numerous artesian wells. Many of these wells were capped or ceased to flow when efforts were made to move them. However, many wells still produce gallons of sweet, free-flowing clear water daily. So, come enjoy a drink of water and sit a spell under the tin-roofed well shed on Doster Road, sip from a dipper at the well in the back yard of the Prattaugan Museum/Heritage Center, slake your thirst at Heritage Park overlooking Autauga Creek, or at any of the other public artesian wells.
