Subject: Miss Wisconsin state pageant host city news

For the first time since the Miss Wisconsin pageant moved from Kenosha to Oshkosh in 1963, the annual state pageant has found a new host city location.

Announced today, September 17, 2024, the 2025 Miss Wisconsin and Miss Wisconsin's Teen state pageant will be relocated to the 770-seat New Berlin West Performing Arts Center in New Berlin, June 18--21, 2025.

It will mark the first time that state pageants will be held in Waukesha County, which is also the home county for the current Miss Wisconsin's Teen 2024, Ella Marie Julianne Bey, the first black-bi-racial teen winner.

Prior to moving to Oshkosh, the Miss Wisconsin pageant was staged in Kenosha for four years (1959--1962), and in Reedsburg for six consecutive years (1953 to 1958). The Miss Wisconsin's Teen (formerly Miss Wisconsin's Outstanding Teen) began in Oshkosh in June 2005.

The slick pageant press release is linked here, which provides clear evidence that the very people who should have been told first about the move, were the last to know---and learned of the state pageant move to New Berline was from the media: the folks at the Alberta Kimball West High School staff, the Oshkosh city manager, and the Oshkosh Convention and Visitor's Bureau. Not much mention of those folks, who the media seemed to have no trouble locating for their comments.

So, again, today starts a new chapter in the long history of the Miss Wisconsin program that began in 1927 in Milwaukee.

Good luck in New Berlin, and getting the Waukesha Freeman and Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel to provide the same or even more media coverage of the state pageants each June than what the Oshkosh Northwestern daily newspaper provided since 1963.

- I don't know if you're aware but Miss America is in a major legal battle -- with the current CEO., 09:45:20 09/18/24 Wed
- To answer this---whose fault the local residents do not know of the pageant week? There's barely -- news coverage, and no downtown parade for starters, 11:36:13 09/18/24 Wed
Ahh....as if the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has covered each new Miss Wisconsin -- the last ten years? Why would they start now?, 10:52:21 09/18/24 Wed
A big story about this news is featured on page A-6 of today’s (Thursday ) -- Issue of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel newspaper., 17:53:03 09/19/24 Thu
- I got the Journal-Sentinel paper last night after reading your posting but -- this reporter did not say anything about WI Teen in 2025, 19:02:10 09/20/24 Fri
  - I saw the story online and also in Thursday's JS newspaper. What is odd it seems -- Brenda doesn't even have a signed contract yet in NB., 11:24:25 09/21/24 Sat
    - I also saw Thursday's Journal Sentinel and Miss Wis. Teen is not even mentioned. -- We would assume teen would also go to New Berlin, will it?, 13:34:34 09/22/24 Sun
