Subject: The return of two Northern Wisconsin pageants

Perhaps call it the "Grace Stanke" affect, or maybe something more plotting and sinister, but two pageants in northern Wisconsin to send winners to Miss Wisconsin next year will take place. News to you??

Entries for the Miss Wausau Area and Miss Wausau Area's Teen 2024 pageant, scheduled for Saturday, November 11, 2023, are being accepted. The dual competition is organized by Grace's mother, Jenny Stanke, and you can read this online news notice from June 30 for details and information:
http://wausaupilotandreview.com/2023/06/30/miss-wausau-area-miss-wausau-areas-teen-competitions-seek-contestants/

Of course, Grace Marie Stanke is from Wausau, and was the self-appointed Miss Wausau's Outstanding Teen 2016, then later Miss Wisconsin's Outstanding Teen 2017 (when she was Miss Harbor Cities' Outstanding Teen 2017); followed by her winning Miss Madison in 2020, then Miss Wisconsin 2022, and Miss America 2023--the latter two thanks to her being named Miss Badgerland at the 2022 Miss Wisconsin Sweeps pageant in Racine. And you can bet your bottom dollar Grace will be at her mother's pageant rather than sitting on the sunny Florida beaches in the middle of November!!

For pageant history buffs, the Miss Wausau pageant had a good stretch from 1963 to 1974; and previously had Miss Wausau winners compete for Miss Wisconsin in 1927, 1953, and 1956. And now Miss Wausau is back again 50 years later for 2024.

Maybe Grace has a younger sister or has friends in Wausau who wish to follow her pageant footsteps for reason for the sudden urge (after five decades) by Jenny to hold a Miss Wisconsin preliminary in Wausau? The competition franchise for miss and teen are for any qualified entrants living, working, or attending school in Marathon County.

If not a Grace Stanke conspiracy for Miss Wausau, then surely it appears that the Miss Northern Lights pageant, scheduled for exactly six months from today, on January 13, 2024, is suddenly returning to have former Miss Wisconsin Rapids 2022, Cassidy Sairs win that state open pageant in Stevens Point.

To many it was no secret that former Miss Wisconsin Rapids 2009, Kathryn (Katie) Williams, and her helpful pals, put on the first Miss Northern Lights in 2016 just for Wisconsin Rapids pageant gals have another chance to get to Miss Wisconsin. And it worked, does Danielle Moon and Ryann Swanson come to mind?

However, that regime ended in 2018 with former Miss Wisconsin Rapids 2017, Ryann Swanson of Wisconsin Rapids, winning the third and final Miss Northern Lights pageant. By the way, she is the older sister of reigning Miss Oshkosh 2023, Taylor Swanson of Wisconsin Rapids.

After the inaugural year, 2016, they added the Miss Northern Light's Outstanding Teen competition for 2017 and 2018, and it was then when Mandi Genord became Miss Wisconsin's Outstanding Teen 2018. Last month Mandi was named first runner-up to Miss Wisconsin 2023, competing as Miss Rock River Valley during her first year participating in the Miss Wisconsin system.

However, regardless of the hidden ambitions and motives, exactly six months from now, is the return of the Miss Northern Lights competition on January 13— If they get enough entrance to have a show.

And lets predict today, a half a year away, that Cassidy will win that pageant, providing she doesn't have the audacity to alter those plans by competing for and win either Miss Rock River Valley or Miss South Central in Beloit the week before Miss Northern Lights. Now that would surely ruin the Miss Northern Lights scheme, right?

But nevertheless, welcome Miss Wausau and Miss Northern Lights to the Miss Wisconsin program for 2024. May each last longer than one year. It should be noted that both pageants have established a Facebook page, so they are off to a good start; however only the Miss Northern Lights pageant is listed on the events portion of the Miss Wisconsin website:
