The Lithuanian village of Ramygala held its annual beauty pageant in June 2016. This event took place for the 6th time. This was for the goats. They wore hats and flowers. Around 500 people attended the parade, a traditional symbol of the northern village. Everyone loved the event. The top prize was given to a 16-month-old female goat called Demyte. It was the first time Demyte’s owner, 74-year-old retired veterinarian Ferdinandas Petkevicius, had won the competition as the most beautiful goat in the town. It got jars of honey, books and coupons for a haircut. The owner said “The only thing we didn’t do to prepare the goat for the pageant is we didn’t polish its nails. The pageant also included a marching band, dancers in fancy costumes.
