It’s the place to see and be seen dur- ing the week that is Miss America in Las Vegas. Pageantry magazine was front and center (literally) for the annual gathering of boutiques, trainers, jewelers, Miss America sponsors, and assorted vendors that support the industry. From the mega Pageantry booth to the Pageantry’s John Maxwell Hall of Fame photo exhibition, the Miss America Trade Show and Resource forum offers the chance to meet the industry leaders normally only seen throughout the pages of Pageantry.
