Congrats!
The contestants were not Chadron residents? Strange.
Really ? Who cares ! More important things going on then this stupid stuff
Who cares ??? Things going on in Israel and this is getting top news ? Stupid
This is a local news station. Local news. Israel is getting plenty of coverage in the regional and national news. We still need to know what is going on in our community, even if it is a silly pageant. It’s not stupid to report local events on a local news outlet. Chill out.
Not really. This pageant has always been open to all eligible residents in the Chadron/ Northwest area. Chadron alone does not have the interest in participation to hold the event alone. It has always been the Miss Chadron/ Miss Northwest pageant, as a feeder to the Miss Nebraska pageant. You have to be a regional winner to qualify for Miss NE. I’m not even sure there was a Chadron resident entered this year, but this is the first year back from a bit of a hiatus, so perhaps we will have an entry next year.
