Wow. Just wow.
Today was absolutely amazing. From having 73 beautiful contestants walk across our stage to Emma, our 2026 Miss Tennessee Mountain Ambassador, raising over $3,000.00 — we honestly don’t even have the words to say how thankful we are, but we’re going to try.
To our amazing 2025 queens, thank you for being the face of our pageant for the past year. A title may only last for a short time, but the memories will last forever. We are so thankful for each and every one of you and everything you have done for Miss Tennessee Mountain.
To our amazing staff — Sam, Silas, Ashley, Kayleigh, Fonza, Vicky, and Dee — y’all made this pageant run so smoothly. I had several people compliment me on how amazing our staff was, and we truly could not have done it without each and every one of you. Thank you for giving your time and helping make today so special.
To our emcee, Jonathan — you knocked it out of the park! You literally brought so much energy to the stage. The contestants, parents, and backstage staff were talking about you throughout the entire pageant. We are so grateful for you and everything you brought to our stage today.
To everyone who raised money for our Humanitarian Award, we honestly don’t know what to say except WOW. Thank you for putting so much hard work into this award. We know every single one of you put so much time and effort into fundraising, and your hard work did not go unnoticed. We are so thankful for each of you.
To our amazing sponsors — the love and support you continue to show this pageant is literally remarkable. We could not host this amazing pageant without you all. Thank you for continuing to come back year after year and for being willing to sponsor our pageant. Your support helps us put on this event while also giving back to an amazing organization.
To Beth and the entire Clarkrange High School staff and students, thank you for putting up with me and the pageant board! We know we were probably a little crazy at times, but y’all did so amazing. We are so excited to have the pageant back at the school next year!
To our spectators and contestants, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to either walk across our stage or cheer and support those who did. It literally would not be a pageant without you all.
And to our amazing judges, Frankie and Ashlee — y’all had a ROUGH job today! I would not want to be sitting at that judges’ table. But y’all did such an amazing job, and I had so many compliments about our judges. We are so excited about the queens you chose to represent the Miss Tennessee Mountain Pageant, and we know they are going to make you proud.
We are beyond thankful for everyone who played a part in making the 2026 Miss Tennessee Mountain Pageant such an amazing day.
And just like that… 2027 Miss Tennessee Mountain Pageant preparation will begin soon!
Get ready. We’ll be back before you know it!
