FROM the Miss North Carolina's Blog: Miss America Lottery

Miss America is finally becoming a reality! Tonight every contestant participated in the contestant lottery. This process was a mystery to me until this year, as it probably is for many. In case you're curious...

Each contestant logged onto a special web page that showed all of the available placements. There are three preliminary groups labeled Mu, Alpha, and Sigma. Each group contains 17 or 18 placements. A computer randomly chooses states, displaying who is up to choose her slot and who comes next in line. When it is your turn you have five minutes to call the Miss America Organization with your choice.

It was a blast to see everything unfold in real time. Now it is really possible to visualize what the week in Las Vegas will be like. I am in the Sigma group. This means that I will have my interview, swimsuit, and evening gown on Tuesday; talent on Wednesday; and onstage question on Thursday. For a view of the entire line-up, check out the Miss America Web site.

What a fun way to begin the week! I will finish the month of September with another round of school visits (19 schools to be exact) and Mint Hill Madness. September has been a whirlwind of weeks. Between visiting students, attending festivals, and Miss America preparations like the lottery, I have been a busy Miss NC.
