Muskrat Lovely
Amy Nicholson, 2005, 57 min
West Coast Premiere

In a remote area of Dorchester County, Maryland, men still make their
living off the water, and the opportunities for glamour are
fewhellip But that only makes the annual "Miss Outdoors" pageant and
muskrat skinning competition all the more exciting!

Muskrat Lovely follows the high school hopefuls as they prepare for
the 50th crowning of "Miss Outdoors." We learn the importance of this
contest to the community and the young women who enter it-along with
some helpful muskrat preparation tips.
