At Friday night’s Miss Wisconsin Pageant competition, Miss Arcadia and Miss Western Wisconsin won preliminary awards. Dana Taysom, Miss Arcadia, won the swimsuit competition and Beth Bruzek, Miss Western Wisconsin, tied with Miss Madison City for the talent competition. 

All of the contestants from the West Side performed beautifully!  We are very proud of our Miss Holmen, Katherine Weber, who competed in swimsuit and evening gown tonight and competed in talent and on-stage question on Thursday night. 

The Miss Holmen Pageant is celebrating its 25th anniversary this August!  All former Miss Holmens are invited and encouraged to attend the show on Friday, August 10th, 2007.  Former Miss Holmens in attendance will be introduced from the stage during a segment of the show.  The theme of this year’s show is “Hometown Pride” and our MC for the evening will be Jen O’Brien, a former Miss Sparta and current mid-day announcer and program director of Z-93. 

I am really looking forward to the 2007 Miss Holmen Pageant.  It promises to be a great show and an enjoyable evening with many former Miss Holmens in attendance.  We hope to see you there!

On Wednesday, June 13th, Miss Holmen, Katherine Weber, and seven other titleholders from the west side of the state, participated in Miss Wisconsin Preview Night at the Cleary Alumni and Friends Center at the UW-La Crosse campus.  All the contestants showcased their their talents, platforms, and wardrobes at this standing-room only event.  Katherine, Miss Holmen, performed her comic opera piece from the Enchantress entitled, “Art is Calling For Me”.  She performed beautifully and looked amazing as well.  Katherine also spoke about her platform issue, “The Importance of Fine Arts in Education,” and modeled her interview suit, evening gown, talent gown, swimsuit, and merchant’s dinner dress. 

Katherine, along with the other west-side ladies, leave for Miss Wisconsin week on Sunday, June 24th.  The week will be very busy and exciting, filled with many rehearsals and preliminary competitions on Thursday and Friday nights.  Saturday, June 30th is the final night of competition where the top ten will be announced and the new Miss Wisconsin will be crowned.
