Lawrence to host beauty pageants
The Miss Kansas USA and Miss Kansas Teen USA pageants will return to Lawrence for a second consecutive year.
The pageants will occur simultaneously Dec. 14 to Dec. 16 at the Lied Center on Kansas University’s West Campus.
During last year’s pageant in December at the Lied Center, Cara Gorges, of Clearwater, won the Miss Kansas USA title, and Jaymie Stokes, a Shawnee Mission West High School student, won the Miss Kansas Teen USA title.
The agency Vanbros and Associates of Overland Park produces the pageants, which are licensed and sanctioned by the Donald Trump Miss Universe Organization.
