For the past several years, Molly Coston was known as “Mayor Molly.” Now, she may be known as “Queen Molly.”
The Camas-Washougal chapter of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) recently named Coston the queen of the 2022 Camas Days Senior Royal Court.
The Washougal City Council member and former mayor will be crowned at a dessert coronation reception at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 13, at The Outpost, 570 30th St., Washougal.
Coston also will ride in the Camas Days main parade on Saturday, July 23. The annual downtown Camas festival is back after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and will take place throughout downtown Camas on Friday and Saturday, July 22-23.
“I was asked by someone, ‘Would you accept the nomination? I’d like to nominate you for this honor.’ And I said, I said, ‘Yeah, of course I would. I think this would be an amazing honor,'” Coston said. “I was thinking that I would be one of the nominees, but certainly never named as queen. So when I got the call (from GFWC member) Susan Bennett, I was floored. I am very, very honored to receive the queen’s title, and I think this is going to be so much fun. I’m going to have a great time.”
