The Kansas Miss Amazing “Amplifying Event” made its return to Emporia for the first time in two years Saturday evening.
The Emporia High School theatre hosted the event that seeks to celebrate young women with all matter of physical and mental disabilities. Event Director Michelle Roberts says the event is structured as a pageant, however, they prefer to use the term “amplify event” as they are seeking to amplify the voices of their participants.
This was the first Miss Amazing held in Emporia since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Roberts says they were so pleased to have it back on the calendar and more specifically back in Emporia.
The top seven competitors from Saturday will now move on to the national Miss Amazing pageant set to be held in Chicago next August.
