It was a gorgeous fall afternoon, not only a sunny and warm day in Medford, Oregon but a day where beautiful ladies from across the Rogue Valley came to vye for the title of Miss Southern Oregon USA and Miss Southern Oregon Teen USA, the only preliminary to the state title of Miss Oregon USA and Miss Oregon Teen USA.
Beauties of America 50s, Deanna Bebeau showed her support for her hometown beauties and her long-time friend, Stephanie Farrell, who is not only the director of the Southern Oregon pageant, but the mother of Tami Farrell, Miss Teen USA 2003. Tami graced the stage as the MC along with the assistance of special guest, Miss Oregon Teen USA 2011, Kayla Rousch. Also joining Deanna was Mrs. Southern Oregon International 2012, Misty McCord, whose daughter had the privilege of serving as a Little Sister Princess to Miss contestant, Melissa Thompson.
The lucky, and well-deserving ladies who will represent Southern Oregon are Kayla Bratton, Miss Southern Oregon USA 2012 and Kiana Binion, Miss Southern Oregon Teen USA. Rhiannon Manley was bestowed with the title of the Shelby Cato Memorial Award (Spirit of Pageantry), an award in the memory of Shelby Cato who was part of the Medford pageant family for many years and lost her life earlier this year -- it was an emotional day for all those who knew and loved Shelby.
SPECIAL UPDATE!!! Kiana Binion was just crowned Miss Oregon Teen USA 2012 this weekend and will represent Oregon at the Miss Teen USA pageant next summer. Oregon is the only state to have three young ladies to have been crowned Miss Teen USA and hopefully a 4th is on her way!
