Saturday evening is the highlight of the weekend as far as fun is concerned, when the contestants get to meet with their Little Sisters for a pizza party. The Little Sisters are girls who have finished the second, third or fourth grades and will be part of the Miss Nebraska Pageant production. Two North Platte natives will be competing this year. Wendy Koch, Miss Western Nebraska, brings a fair amount of experience. She has been competing for five years, since she was a senior in high school.
Every year is different in so many ways.
Preparing is a year-long process. Lyndsey Roggow, Miss Heartland and a 2000 graduate of North Platte High School, will be participating for the first time this year. My roommate quizzes me on current events every morning after we watch the Today Show. Copyright 1999 North Platte Telegraph Online and The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
