I apologize, I had originally thought Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi were also this weekend, but they are this coming week; then with Puerto Rico on the 31st, I believe all the Miss America contestants will be selected! As always, I got these photos and information from a wide variety of online sources; please leave additions and corrections as comments. Thank you.
