Subject: Happy 100th anniversary


It was exactly 100 years ago today, when Wisconsin had the very first entrant in the Miss America competition held in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Today, September 6, 2024, marks the 100th year anniversary when Miss Milwaukee 1924, Clara Ethel Koehler had competed for the coveted national title of Miss America 1924 on Saturday, September 6, 1924.

The fourth annual Miss America bathing beauty competition had the largest number, 83, entrants of any pageant before and since then. Clara, a farm-girl from Jackson County, make the top 15 semi-finalists.

There have been ten decades of many women to represent Wisconsin at Miss America, but where is and was only one Clara Koehler, who also happened to be the very first crowned Miss Milwaukee winner back in April 1924.

Happy 100th year milestone centennial anniversary.
