MISS AMERICA DAY 2✨️👑
What a fun day!! The MCC crew started off at the Little Sisters Tea Party and spending time at the Miss America Expo, where we got to see so many incredible partners of the organization, try on some fun dresses, and see the incredible shoe made by our Miss Iowa! Then, this evening, we spent time on a Catamaran Sunset Cruise surrounded by the incredible beauty of the Palm Beaches. Can't wait to cheer on Emily at Teen Finals tomorrow night!

Happy Miss America’s Teen Finals Day to all that observe! 🥳💖👑

Emily, from the first time you stepped on the Miss Clinton County stage, through when you told us “I want to be Miss Iowa’s Teen,” to every moment leading up until now, you’ve always had a clear vision, sense of self, and drive to make things happen.

And boy, have you put your promises into action. ❤️

You’ve led with heart, grit, and true Emily levels of authenticity. You’ve already made us, your family and friends, and the entire state of Iowa proud. We love you forever and always! 🫶🏼

(Disclaimer: Emily has asked us to post these. Repeatedly. Please enjoy.)
