Beauties of America were "in the house" at the Miss America Pageant!


Beauties of America 30s, 40s, and 60s queens Elisa Rister, Carolyn Ladd, and Christy Passoth joined past national titleholder Kathy Lauer (2010 America's 50s 40s) at the 2012 Miss America pageant in Las Vegas, VA.  For Carolyn Ladd, it was a return trip to the Miss America Pageant where she competed as Miss Oregon twenty years ago.

The excitement started off with a visit to the Miss America Trade Show where Carolyn joined Beauties of America 60s Christy Passoth for a chance to meet with a very great friend to the Beauties of America system, Carl Dunn in the Pageantry booth.

That evening, the ladies attended the Miss America Gala where Carolyn had a chance to sit with Miss Oregon 2012, Caroline McGowan.

Saturday before the pageant, some of the contestants from Carolyn's year at Miss America had a reunion.  Attendees at the reunion included Miss America 1992, Carolyn Sapp, who represented Hawaii.

At the pageant Saturday night, Miss Wisconsin, Laura Kaeppeler, was crowned Miss America.  She is a speech pathology major whose platform is mentorship for children who have an incarcerated parent.

As seen above, Beauties of America was "in the house" at the Miss America Pageant.  Pictured after the pageant with a Marine officer are Mrs. Arizona Int'l. 2011 Jennifer Olson, Beauties of America 30s Elisa Rister, Beauties of America 40s Carolyn Ladd, Texas 30s 2011 Corrine Devine, and Beauties of America 50s 2010 Kathy Lauer.
