The Wisconsin Preliminary pageant for Miss USofA is one of the largest pageant systems in the State. "Back in the Day", the first promoter, Jimmy King, made quite a mark with the pageant system and built a series of preliminary pageants within the state. If you wanted a ticket to state - you had to win one of the city or regional titles within the state! Sadly, Jimmy passed away in 1994. Since then, the pageant has been promoted by several individuals and most recently Mark Mariucci of Green Bay. In 2004, there were thirteen preliminary pageants for the State title - and twenty-one State contestants. In 2005, attendance too one of its normal dips and there were only thirteen contestants from thirteen preliminary contests. In 2006, we hope to have 17 contestants from 14 preliminary contests. This is the largest national system pageant in the state.
