Unfortunately, Santa Cruz was less than welcoming toward the end of the Miss California days and it was a hostile time for the contestants. It may have changed, but even when the Miss Santa Cruz County Organization ran their program a few years ago, they had to hold the swimsuit portion of the pageant behind closed doors before the pageant started. Sad, but true. I would love to see the pageant move elsewhere, but Fresno is welcoming to the program and the contestants. -- Miss California Unofficial Message Board

In reply to: Heather 's message, "Re: I was just in Santa Cruz for the past three days and it was so amazing to see how many restaurants had pictures of the former Miss California contestants. There is Miss California history everywhere! I was talking to the owner of one of the restaurants and I told him I was a local director and he said "I wish Miss California was still here". There was so much to do and staying at the Dream Inn was a dream. I took some pictures but I do not know how to post them on this board." on 07:49:59 06/14/13 Fri

The protests were taking on a violent vibe which escalated each year and required significant police presence. When the feminists followed MCO to San Diego, it was moved to Fresno. It appears even the feminists won't endure Fresno for their cause since they have not followed us there.. lol... I would not be surprised if that is a signifacant factor in choosing to keep the pageant there.
