Hopes for Miss America

Miss Missouri Lacey Fitzgerald stepped onto a plane yesterday and will begin her quest for the Miss America title today in Las Vegas, Nev.
Fitzgerald said on Wednesday that she won’t have much free time once she arrives in Las Vegas. She said rehearsals begin today and will continue everyday until the day before the pageant next Saturday, Jan. 24. She and the other contestants will rehearse from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will do the preliminary competitions in the evening. Fitzgerald said organizers have also planned some some fun stuff and some public appearances, as well.
“I’m just going into this with an open mind,” she said. “I’m going to be prepared as I can be but I don’t really want to listen to other people because their experiences are different from mine.”
