You would be surprised to know the amount the Onalaska School District was going to charge the Miss Onalaska Organization to hold the pageant at the school. Yes, there should be some expenses such as janitorial fees, but one would think that the school board and especially the current superintendent would want to promote a program that presents young women in our community in the best possible light. And as taxpayers in the city of Onalaska, there should be no reason that a public facility cannot host an event such as this, especially at a time when it is not being used for another school function. Whether it was because of the number of contestants, or because it was held at the Weber Center, the Miss Onalaska Pageant had it's best attendance than it's had in years. I think Mr Finco and perhaps all the school board members need to attend a Miss Onalaska pageant to see what a positive event this is for our community, but at the present time they are completely dismissing it. -- Wisconsin Pageants
