DID YOU KNOW that each Mrs. West Virginia and each Mrs. America is just like you? Although MANY of our Delegates are very talented, NO PERFORMING TALENT IS REQUIRED! The average age of a Mrs. West Virginia and Mrs. America contestant ranges from 25 to 50 years old ! State winners consist of teachers, moms, airplane pilot, biologist, a Major in the U.S. Army, models, business owners, secretaries, dentist, nurse . . . . Whether it is to fulfill a dream, celebrate a milestone, obtain a goal from your “bucket list”, or just to have the opportunity to give yourself the “me” time you deserve. Let’s face it, as married women we don’t always tend to think of ourselves as competing in pageants, however, this isn’t just a pageant. This is an opportunity for you and all married women of West Virginia to support & promote the charity of your choice, your community, family and marriage. The substance, vitality, prestige and achievement are what married women are all about.
