Miss America Pageant Featured on USA Today's Ten Great Places to Find True Americana List

With its rich history and tradition, the Miss America Organization was recently recognized on USA Today's list of the Ten Great Places to Find True Americana.

Here is what USA Today had to say...Beauty contests are an American staple, but this is the Super Bowl. McKechnie says the event has enjoyed a renaissance of popularity since moving from Atlantic City six years ago. There are three days of preliminaries before the finals in the pageant (the next one is Jan. 26-30), and tickets are sold for each round. "One night they do talent, one night evening gowns and so on, so it is pretty easy to buy tickets. Whatever they choose to do for the talent show they do very well, so the quality of the performance is as good as any show on the Vegas Strip." Tickets go on sale in December. 609-653-8700, missamerica.org
