First this bizarro story....La Crosse radio news guy Brad Williams (who was the 1969 Wisconsin spelling bee champion) wrote this story on Emma Garrison's victory exactly a week ago tonight, on Saturday, September 9th, 2023:

https://www.wizmnews.com/2023/09/10/emma-garrison-named-2023-miss-la-crosse-oktoberfest/

Brad really over-worked himself with details. Dumb story. And what is nearly a dozen contestants...let me guess, nine, ten, eleven or even maybe 13 pageant entrants?

WKBT News Channel 8 television had posted this on September 14:
http://www.news8000.com/entertainment/contests/miss-la-crosse---oktoberfest-2023-discusses-her-journey-with-news-8-now-this/article_8ca0a4c4-52f9-11ee-b588-8b56a4184f5f.html

And former UW-La Crosse staffer and current La Crosse school district board member Brad Quarberg wrote this story yesterday for the La Crosse Tribune.

That story was also copied to Emma's hometown Waunakee Tribune newspaper, as if Brad could not write a different story with more of a Waunakee angle, like saying what year she graduated from Waunakee High School and who are her proud parents?

I'd like to know who the Miss Capital City was that came to her school that had a -- sister who competed in the teen program??, 18:38:40 09/16/23 Sat
- Emma obviously did not pay attention or could read the banner. There was never a Miss Capital City -- crowned in Wisconsin---it was Miss Madison-Capital City!, 11:26:07 09/17/23 Sun
  - The only possible answer----McKenna Holly Collins (Miss Madison C-C 2017) -- whose sister was Miss Madison Teen 2017, Keeley Collins, 12:00:45 09/17/23 Sun
    - Yes, I realized this after I asked it. McKenna was also from Waunakee. -- fan, 13:57:03 09/17/23 Sun
    - Thanks for that full list of Miss Madison winners. Funny that Madison only had -- a couple of Miss Wis. winners----until at-large began 2007., 10:25:27 09/18/23 Mon
      - Where do you see a full list of Miss Madison winners here? And you say Miss Madison -- only began to win Miss Wisconsin when it was an "open"?, 06:34:09 09/20/23 Wed
        The Miss Madison list was in a Sept.17 posting above. Click link to see it. -- Closed Madison had Miss WI winners in 1970, 1987, 2003, 2004, 10:05:02 09/22/23 Fri
        Agree---it was Joe and Ron who took over Miss Madison in 2007 from director Jayme Cain -- made it a state open---got their first Miss WI--Christina T., 08:58:59 09/24/23 Sun
