She is cute. I wish she had won. I bet she also like to walk barefoot too.

Happy for Wisconsin since they haven't won the crown since 1973. Pretty, talented and smart. Good combination. Miss Missouri did herself proud.

How can this girl represent Branson when she is not from Branson? We can't get a local lady from Branson to represent us?

I'll never understand why they call her Miss Branson. She was Miss Missouri. I think the area just tries to slap itself on anything that can get Branson a little publicity. But if someone can explain WHY she is called Miss Branson... I'd like to hear it. I just have a feeling if someone said "Miss Missouri, how did you become Miss Branson?" She'd probably respond "Miss Branson? Where's Branson?" lol.

The Miss Branson Pageant is considered an 'open' competition, and any young women meeting the designated criteria can run, which has happened in the past and will continue to occur in the future according to pageant organizers.
We have visited this issue on more than one occasion with previous stories, but I hope this helps clarify the question you have.
Thank you for your original note.
