About Miss Pawnee
Pageant History:
The "Miss Pawnee" Beauty Pageant began in 1928, when local con artist Jonathan T. Raimesfeld was in search of a future bride. Ladies competed in events such as Meal Preparation, Child Bearing, and Silence. The event ended in a tie, which ushered in a brief and unfortunate period of legalized bigamy in the town. But the real winner was Pawnee, for the birth of a new beauty pageant that would entertain for years to come.
Contestants today are scored on Eveningwear, Talent, and a Question and Answer section. Past winners have gone on to jobs ranging from boat show models, to limb/joint models, to car show models.
