Get ready for the Mrs. Missouri America Pageant to come to Branson on March 28th. Slated to be held at one of Branson’s most beloved venues, the Mansion Theatre, this is the 33rd straight year the event is taking place yet the first time it’ll be in Branson. For most, that means this is bound to be the most exciting competition to date!

The Mrs. Missouri Pageant is part of the well-known Mrs. America Organization. For this particular pageant, some of the state’s most beautiful and accomplished married women will compete in a variety of categories ranging from fitness to interview skills. Pageant and celebrity judges will be on hand to score the women and the winner will be crowned Mrs. Missouri 2009! They will then be going on to compete in the Mrs. America Pageant taking place in the fall. In the mean time, she can take advantage of the prize package which is valued at more than $9,000 and the chance to travel all over the state to do speaking engagements and volunteering to support her platform.

However, the show has more to it than the usual pageant showcase! Tap, ballet, and jazz dance numbers will be performed by troupes such as the Premier Dance Academy Clogging Team. Another pageant will also take place alongside the Mrs. Missouri Pageant where judges will crown 6 new Missouri Princesses, ranging in age from 3 to 18.
