The Miss Texarkana Pageant was been around since 1933 and they had several of the former titleholders at the pageant on Saturday night. The two emcees, Jessie Ward, Miss Arkansas 2001 and Frank Poff, an attorney in Texarkana had the privilege of interviewing the very first Miss Texarkana from 1933, Ms. Annie Lillian Platz Cunningham. She told the audience that back then there were some 50 contestants and all they had to do as walk across the stage one time and then the winner was called out. There was no Interview or Talent or Swimsuit competition back then. She was a VERY spry and intelligent 91 year old former Miss Texarkana.
