The Water Carnival Alumni Scholarship Fund exists to recognize the service that our outgoing Miss Hutchinson and Hutchinson Princess have provided to our festival and community throughout their reign.  The scholarship fund is funded entirely by the generous donations of our Water Carnival Alumni, businesses and individuals.

The 82nd Annual Hutchinson Jaycee Water Carnival will take place June 9-15, 2025. The Miss Hutchinson Pageant will be held at the Hutchinson High School Auditorium on Friday, June 13th at 7:00pm, with Abby Westlund and Chris Wilke as the Masters of Ceremonies.  The Pageant will feature the candidates in their formal gown, talent, and question & answer competitions along with the announcement of the 2025 Hutchinson Woman of the Year and Mr. Hutchinson. On Sunday, June 15th, the reigning Miss Hutchinson Avery Watzke and Princess Katelyn Van Marel will pass along their crowns to the new Miss Hutchinson and Hutchinson Princess.
