The Junkies were “Uber-Proud” of Whitney Wood, Miss Idaho 2012! She was precisely the kind of contestant who ‘grows’ within the Miss America system and was willing to put in the work to showcase her strengths. Allow me to list the awards Whitney received at Miss America:
– Quality of Life Finalist – Handbags of Hope – $2000
– Non-Finalist Talent Award – $1000
– Louanna Gamba Instrumentalist Award – $1000
– Miss America State Finalist – $3000
– Total = $7000
Of the 53 girls at Miss America, Whitney won more scholarships than 41 ladies on stage! In fact, she won just as much scholarship money as the Top 10 finalists won! The Junkies thoroughly appreciate how Miss America rewards ladies like Whitney for their collective efforts – and not just those who ‘make the finals’. Idaho should be proud!!!
And when it comes to Miss Idaho 2013, this a bit of a head-scratcher for us… It doesn’t seem like our choices are as “obvious”… Plenty of deserving ladies could win this year!
Junkies Say Here’s Who to Watch:
Kacie Bitzenburg – 2nd runner up ’12
Kaitlin Anderson – 4th runner up ’12
Kalie Wright – SS and interview winner at her local
Meg Rowe – 4th runner up ’10, 3rd runner up ’11
Dani Beckstrom – ID OT ’08
Lauren Parkhurst – Cinderella Scholarship Pageant Winner, AL USA contestant
Sierra Sandison – was just diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a year ago, beautiful girl
GOOD LUCK ALL!!! JUNKIES LOVE IDAHO!!! 🙂
