The Miss Jackson Pageants, sponsored by the American Business Women's Association Jacksonian Charter Chapter, were held recently celebrating the theme, "Honoring the Red, White and Blue!"
Names of the age categories, with the exception of Miss Jackson, were changed from holiday names to conform to rules and regulations of the state pageant sponsored by the Miss Missouri local pageants each summer.
The category winners were McKenzie Goodson, Tiny Miss Jackson; Bailey Branum, Little Miss Jackson; Lori Clippard, Preteen Miss Jackson; Mary Bauer, Young Miss Jackson; Ashley Skinner, Teen Miss Jackson; Breanne Walton, Miss Jackson.
Miss Missouri Whitney Weeks was the mistress of ceremonies.
In 2006, the Miss America Organization will sponsor a Miss Teen America pageant. The Miss Teen Jackson pageant will be an official preliminary pageant to the Miss Teen Missouri/Miss Teen America Pageant.
