Wisconsin has always had a strong base of closed city pageants such as La Crosse, St. Francis, Racine, Oshkosh, Milwaukee, West Allis, etc. But in recent years, there has been a strong increase in opens. Just a few years ago I believe there was only like three or four, last year there was seven, and this year there will be eight. Directors who either had a closed local or still do stepped it up a notch and also provided a one day open pageant to give more girls a chance to go to Miss WI. In the La Crosse area, they awarded four titles in one day in their March Super Saturday of Pageants, and I see where this year Racine is holding a Festival of Trees open pageant in conjunction with that event.... in addition to their closed Miss Racine pageant.
There are many dedicated directors in our state, and I believe the field directors also actively seek out other communities in our state that aren't currently represented in the MWO as to the possibility of obtaining a franchise.

[> [> [> [> [> Thanks so much for the input. That is a great idea to hold several opens at the same event. It doesnt cost any more yet allows more girls to have titles and compete at state. -- Other states should follow these guidelines, looks like its been very successful for Wisconsin., 21:59:28 10/19/06 Thu [1]
