Subject: I think it's hard to sustain a local when you're only drawing contestants from one geographical area such as Holmen. At least with Onalaska, they also include girls that live in West Salem and also can tap into the Luther High School, where girls may not live in Onalaska, but are elligible because they attend a school in Onalaska.

Nowadays, if you look at the trend across the board with locals in the Miss America program, you find that many of them struggle with finding enough contestants to hold a pageant. Although this may not be the case with the Holmen pageant, (although it was this year) I think it helps to have a larger radius to draw contestants from. I am all for regional locals, where the girl actually lives in that region. I've always thought it was strange to have an open pageant when the girl that wins lives on the opposite side of the state.
