The Miss Tennessee Volunteer Pageant will happen again beginning on June 16 and the winner being crowned on June 19 at the Carl Perkins Civic Center in Downtown Jackson.
“We are so excited to be back,” said pageant director Allison Alderson DeMarcus. “Our girls were supposed to compete in 2020, and we want to give them the opportunity to do that.
“We feel like it’s important for these young women to experience that and gain all of the meaningful experiences that comes with it. We’ll have protocols in place to make sure everyone is as safe as possible for the contestants and for those watching.”
