The 68th annual Miss Pea Ridge pageant was held Friday and Saturday.
The tradition of the Miss Pea Ridge pageant began in 1950 with the town's centennial celebration. It has been an annual tradition in conjunction with the Pea Ridge Fair, which was discontinued last year. The pageants are sponsored by Beta Alpha.
Pageants were held in the Middle School cafeteria with a crowded audience applauding selections. Three judges recorded their observations and an auditor tabulated the results. Miss Pea Ridge 2017, Quinley Roses, crowned winners Friday and Miss Pea Ridge 2018, Makenzie Trimble, crowned winners Saturday.
