Numbers are way down and losing locals. It's very sad. Lack of interest it seems." on 17:45:29 10/08/13 Tue Not lack of interest, but too costly to compete...fees, gowns, talent wear, shoes, etc. Plus unless you start as a teen, it's hard to compete later. So those girls that start early have an advantage, and it hard for others to break in or feel like they can be competitive. Just my observation.Not the case for all.

I agree about it being too costly. Locals have to BEG girls to compete and its the same girls at every local through out the year. but PLEASE dont give me the Jenna did a great story spill. She is one of the reasons people dont want to compete anymore. She is not approachable at all she comes across as being above everyone else. It just sends a bad message. When girls that win spend $5K + on their evening gowns please dont tell me this is a scholarship program.	No name	23:11:25 10/08/13 Tue
Oh PU-LEEZE don't give us the line that Jenna winning makes girls not want to compete. That excuse is OLD. Plus you must not have read the thread where someone was complaining about Jenna rewearing her appearance wardrobe. -- You're looking for an excuse to bad mouth., 07:52:06 10/09/13 Wed I wasnt refering to Jenna when I was talking about money spent. Althought her gown was a high dollar price tag. Don't tell me girls wont compete because of Jenna. Only ONE girl went to Miss America to support her this speaks VOLUMES! Every year a lot of girls have gone. Nobody likes Jenna GET OVER IT! (NT) -- No name, 08:43:12 10/09/13 Wed Jamie LOVES Jenna . And so do a lot of ppl. There was a lot of very sweet posts about her on Facebook before she went to Miss America! Did you see Ann Blair's post? It was so sweet. And several of the girls and volunteers have said very nice things about her. I think it's that same of gal stirring the Jenna hating pot . If you weren't hateful, jealous , or evil you wouldn't spent time hiding behind a message board cowardly bashing great young wo (NT) -- No name, 10:29:08 10/09/13 Wed
