Subject Author Date Tons of girls have done it. The last one I remember was Sarah Beth. She held the titles of Zebulon and Wendell (NT) No name 13:25:42 10/24/25 Fri Does she give her farewell as Orange County and crown the winner, then jump back in line before they announce Miss Chapel Hill? (NT) -- No name, 19:29:07 10/24/25 Fri That rule got changed a few years ago to where you could. Maybe when Abby Britt was Spivey's and competed in Dunn. (NT) No name 12:42:41 10/25/25 Sat Why did Hailey not do a farewell at Chapel Hill? (NT) -- No name, 17:23:55 10/25/25 Sat Because you can’t if you compete elsewhere before the new one is crowned and she competed at NC USA so she was ineligible to do a farewell according to the rules. Just like if a MAO local title holder competes at another prelim before their current prelims new season they can’t give a farewell. (NT) -- No name, 18:00:01 10/25/25 Sat Oh, I didn't know that she did NC-USA. How did she do? Did she place? Wasn't the winner ruled ineligible? I think that's a weird rule. Is it supposed to "punish" the girl? It seems like it would just serve to alienate sponsors. What if you gave the girl something and was waiting for a public thank you (which they usually do in farewells) (NT) -- No name, 21:20:29 10/25/25 Sat Girls are allowed to be released after the Miss NC pageant now. Many chose to be released after. (NT) -- No name, 04:48:55 10/26/25 Sun I would be afraid that it would offend my committee and make me look like nothing but a crown chaser. (NT) -- No name, 23:01:18 10/27/25 Mon Because she took the option to be released after Miss NC and move on! (NT) -- No name, 06:23:25 10/26/25 Sun Well, if the State people are pk releasing them, then the "No Farewell" clause is serving no purpose. It only serves to alienate sponsors. The girls probably don't care at all. Also, on another note.....if winning a local only serves as a ticket to State, why not just abolish local programs and enter State directly? (NT) -- No name, 08:47:42 10/26/25 Sun I thought the local winners did other appearances in the area they represent. If everyone jumps ship after Miss NC, what is the point of locals? (NT) -- No name, 08:50:09 10/26/25 Sun One reason that eliminating locals might not work is the tax laws. I don't think you can charge an entry fee to be a non-profit scholarship organization. That is another aspect that separates Miss America from Miss USA. Miss USA is a for profit organization and the organizers can charge the $1500 entry fee. (NT) -- No name, 07:25:59 10/27/25 Mon Hailey was Top Ten at NC USA I believe. She is also the NC Poultry Festival queen, which turns into Miss Rose Hill, so she'll be competing at Miss NC. I saw on social media she was at an event representing her new title all weekend (NT) -- No name, 09:31:53 10/27/25 Mon Thank you. Did not know that the Poultry title would morph into Miss Rose Hill. I wonder why they just don't go with Poultry Festival? Do you think Hailey was PC at State or was it someone else? She had a fantastic wardrobe. That talent dress was the "dress" of the pageant. (NT) -- No name, 10:24:27 10/27/25 Mon If Hailey was PC at State, it means only that she raised the most $$. You are aware that winners have been PC. Katie Stam was PC when she won Miss America. Yes l (NT) -- No name, 13:15:44 10/27/25 Mon Hailey has NO talent! (NT) -- No name, 06:59:30 10/28/25 Tue Actually at Miss NC USA, Hailey made top 15 out of 20 competitors. (NT) -- No name, 22:45:02 10/27/25 Mon Oh, just so everyone knows — Hailey won’t be going back to Miss North Carolina as Rose Hill. She turned it down. And honestly, can you blame her? Between this board and some of the delightful personalities on it, who would want to? Truly tragic behavior, folks. (NT) -- No name, 06:02:30 10/29/25 Wed That's unfortunate. She should realize that you don't get picked on if you don't pose a threat. If I were competing, I would look forward to seeing my name on here. It would mean i had 'em running scared..
