Route 66, the Mother Road of all highways was paved in 1926 and still traverses two-thirds of the United States, starting in Chicago and extending to California. The Route 66 National Pageant is held in Barstow, annually, this year on August 27th, as a fundraiser to support the Route 66 museum.
Titleholders are participate in Barstow and other cities' Route 66 activities and car shows, with the winners participating in three mandatory appearances during the year including: Barstow Main Street USA Run Car Show on Route 66, the famous San Bernardino Route 66 Rendezvous, and the Annual Route 66 Museum Anniversary & Car Show.
Titles are promoted in the cities of the ladies through community service or a parade; twelve tittles were awarded: Baby, Petite, Tiny, Little Pixie, Junior, Pre-teen, Jr. Teen, Teen, Miss, Mrs. Ms. and Classic.
As Beauties of America, 60's, I served as emcee for two segments of the pageant and as a former titleholder had the honor of crowning the new Ms. Classic Route 66.
