Subject: Old Powerhouses: Fayetteville under Mrs. Zollars, Spivey's under Jeff & Nancy Heath, Western Piedmont under Dakeita, Garner under the Jaycees, Topsail Island -- if you held one of those titles, you were almost guaranteed to make Top 10.

Subject Author Date Remember Elkin Valley under David and Faye Myers? Guaranteed Top 10 every year. Their daughter became Miss Virginia. (NT) No name 13:14:33 10/04/25 Sat I remember a little town called Buelahville competing one year. They went all the way to 1st runner up.. (NT) -- No name, 13:16:10 10/04/25 Sat Elkin Valley had a good year every now and then but I wouldn't consider that a powerhouse. I don't remember that local doing all that much before or after Dineene Graham. (NT) -- No name, 14:42:41 10/04/25 Sat Two come to mind.....Lee Ann Garvin, Susan Hamlin. Both Top 10 before Deneen.

I don't remember that local doing all that much before or after Dineene Graham. -- No name, 21:19:59 10/07/25 Tue Who was the Meyer’s daughter that became Miss Virginia? I don’t recall a Meyer’s being Miss VA. (NT) -- No name, 17:54:17 10/05/25 Sun I'm sorry, I think I misspoke. I was thinking it was 1988 April Myers. But she was April Fleming. Maybe it was David and Faye Fleming???? Anyway, I've gotten something screwed up. I need to make sure I'm wearing both shoes, lol. (NT) -- No name, 22:10:09 10/05/25 Sun I read that back in the 60's and 70's that NC was the largest state pageant in the country, with close to 100 contestants and 4 preliminary nights. I think it started thinning out in the mid -70's.. (NT) -- No name, 15:21:04 10/06/25 Mon Every County that had a Jaycee Chapter had to send a representative, so there were literally 100 contestants back in the 70's (NT) -- No name, 07:34:42 10/07/25 Tue I do not believe it was mandatory. Plus, Jaycee Chapters were cities, not counties. Some counties had 5 or 6 Jaycee chapters. (NT) -- No name, 14:20:47 10/07/25 Tue Western Piedmont very rarely missed the Top 10. Same with Garner. Fayetteville was also a powerhouse. (NT) -- No name, 19:18:21 10/08/25 Wed Most Jaycee chapters sent a representative. I know there were 100 contestants. I can't remember which Miss NC, maybe Patsy Wood was contestant number 1 out of 100 and won. If you watch some of the old Miss NC Pageants on youtube, you'll see most were sponsored by their towns Jaycees or Jaycee Women (NT) -- No name, 07:10:57 10/09/25 Thu I have seen all of the old Miss NC tapes on YouTube. Would love to see ones older than what they have.....pageants from back in the 60's & 70's. I wonder if tapes (or even program books ) still exist from back then. Perhaps the state Jaycee office in Asheboro? (NT) -- No name, 12:48:57 10/09/25 Thu Zollars was the OG Pageant Mom and Dakeita, the Big Sister. (NT) No name 12:26:38 11/16/25 Sun
