Organizers say the move is to allow states with pageants time to reopen and will allow more flexibility for state organizations to find locations for competitions.
Any organization holding a pageant in summer 2021 will still be able to send their representative to the national pageant.
Miss Tennessee Volunteer is still scheduled to be held in Jackson, beginning June 16 with a new Miss Tennessee Volunteer to be crowned on Saturday, June 19 at the Carl Perkins Civic Center.
Williams Auditorium bringing more entertainment to West TN
Shane Connor has worked in Jackson radio with Thomas Media and in local concert promotions for enough years that he’s developed the connections to talk to artist managers to bring talent into a venue on a regular basis.
Connor, who lives in Chester County, is using those connections for his hometown as he’s begun to bring notable musical artists and comedians to Williams Auditorium at Chester County Junior High School in Henderson.
“It all started in 2019 when the school district had the auditorium renovated,” Connor said. “It’s a great place but needed some updating, and the school board and district did that.”

JACKSON, Tenn. Earth Day was technically Thursday, but the City of Jackson is celebrating on Saturday.
The City of Jackson is teaming up with Keep Jackson Beautiful to host a city-wide Earth Day Festival at the Carl Perkins Civic Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
You can bring things ranging from blue jeans, electronics, glass, and old medications to recycle.
While they did have a trash pick up day planned, that was rescheduled due to rain.
“We were able to move the rest of it under the canopy to stay dry and proceed with that. We are happy we at least get to do something to celebrate Earth Day for the citizens, but we will do the trash day another day,” said JD Sims, the city’s superintendent of groundskeeping.
