MISS MONTANA 2009 - AND THE WINNER IS!

Glendive - The tall, elegantly beautiful Brittany Wiser from Bozeman has won the title of Miss Montana 2009! First Runner up for this year’s title is Holly Matz of Missoula.

Las Vegas has nothing on the talent showcased in Glendive during this pageant. Brittany Wiser showed her classy and fun side with a romantic Frank Sinatra song that amazed the audience with its perfection. The tall, elegant Brittany wore an off-white evening gown that was softly draping with an off side waste. Her long dangling diamond earrings set off the 4 cornered winner’s crown.

During the swimsuit competition, Brittany chose an eye-catching black with pink metallic trim two piece. She rode the wave with style.

For a final question, Brittany was asked that should she win the title, how would she market the Miss Montana Scholarship Program. Her answer showed her high degree of intelligence and her intention and dedication toward being a good role model. In addition to the excellent cash, scholarships and long list of gifts she will receive, Brittany also won the award for the most outstanding Academic and Children’s Miracle Maker award.

As First Runner Up, Holly Matz receives cash and scholarships and the title of MT Sweetheart. She will compete at the National Sweetheart Pageant.

Second Runner Up, Josie Adams receives cash, scholarships and gifts and won the award of Overall Interview.

Third Runner Up, Glendive’s own Chantell Bury won the Montana’s Choice Award, the Promotion Award and the Most Community Service award. She will receive wonderful cash and scholarships and gifts.

Fourth Runner Up, Annie Anseth receives excellent cash, scholarships and gifts.

The 2009 Miss Congeniality went to…both Britney Wiser and Kylee Hoiland – a tie! Both will receive the award and accompanying gifts.

Semi Finalists were Kylee Hoiland, Ashten Purviance, and Olivia Dowler. Katie Undem won the prestigious Four Points Scholarship award, Megan Farmer won the Spirit and Leadership award and Hannah Brown and Ashten Purviance won preliminary talent awards. Olivia Dowler won the Most Photogenic award.

What an amazing week this has been that culminated in three days of the Montana’s most wonderful Miss Montana Scholarship Program ever. The contestants this year were outstanding for beauty, poise, grace and elegance. It certainly makes one proud to be Montanan!

The new Miss Montana is Brittany Wiser of Bozeman! Congratulations Brittany and to all the contestants.
