This is Miss Texarkana Pageant week. Two miss and two teens will be crowned Saturday night, September 20th at the John Thomas Auditorium and represent our area in the Miss Texas Pageant in June.

My daughter, Karmyn Tyler, started out as a little girl in our local Little Miss Texarkana Pageant and later went to Miss Arkansas and represented Texarkana after competing in Miss Texas as Miss Park Cities. The third year she was attending Centary College, competed as Miss City of Roses, and at state won preliminary swimsuit and talent, and the title of Miss Louisiana. The scholarship money was a wonderful bonus.

She is currently attending grad school at NYU where she also teaches private voice and has appeared in several television shows and off-Broadway shows.

The pageant system has helped her gain confidence in performing and appearing on Fox Nation conducting Situation Room Interviews and a TV Color Commentator for IWP in Washington DC.

She went from being a little girl singing “I Choose To Be Happy” with a puppet to a young lady singing an Aria from Turandot on the Miss America stage in Atlantic City.

She grew physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and paid for her education. A wonderful Pageant experience from my perspective!

On Sunday night a new Miss America 2024 was crowned. Each candidate for Miss Texarkana has the possibility of being on the next Miss America Stage.
