Wausau/Mosinee, WI – I had the opportunity to judge for the 2021 Mrs. Wisconsin America and Miss Wisconsin for America Strong Pageant on June 5, 2021. It was an honor to sit on the judging panel for all these lovely ladies competing for the coveted aforementioned titles.

As a judge, I am duty bound not to discuss the process beyond telling you that director Natalie Boyd ran a well organized and brisk pageant competition without some of the gobbledy gook that forces some pageants to run for 4 hours and put half the audience into a medically induced coma. This was just the competition and it ran like a Swiss watch as the pageant unfolded. Assistant Coordinator Michelle Weisheim (a former) assisted keeping things moving and getting us to where we needed to go. Emcee and Mrs. Galaxy 2020/2021 Crystal Cavey did a wonderful job keeping the show running smoothly with her trademark smile on her face the entire time.

In an exciting announcement, the Fabulous Face winners for Miss and Mrs. are being awarded trips to the national competition in fabulous Las Vegas, NV!

Joining me in the judging duties was Dr. Alexey Markelov MD, FACS, Jayne Black, and Carrie Reichartz and we had a wonderful time in the nice air conditioning as the competition (and the outdoors) heated up! We had a wonderful group of competitors, but in the end we needed to make some difficult choices and name our title and award winners, which follows:
