Alyssa Rood Crowned Miss Polk County 2019, LIVINGSTON, January 28, 2019 - The Florence Crosby Auditorium was abuzz with talent, beauty, and pride on Saturday night for the 2019 Miss Polk County Pageant. The pageant featured nine local contestants (all from Livingston High School) that were worthy and deserving of all honors. BUT... ONLY ONE can be crowned Miss Polk County. That distinguishment was bestowed on none other than Livingston High School Senior, 17 year old Alyssa Rood. Only moments earlier, the Junior Miss Polk County Crown was awarded to Livingston High School Freshman, 15 year old Haley Ibison. Both Ibison and Rood humbly and graciously accepted their awards and accolades. When all was said and done, the show (MC'd by Joel Casiday and Aaron Kerss) was executed to flawless perfection. The evening featured an opening musical choreographed dance by all the candidates and was dubbed The Greatest Show on Earth, followed by each candidate introducing themselves to the audience. The show also featured an optional talent show (five contestants opted for talent) and an evening gown portion. After the evening gown portion of the show, the final five were selected by the judges. Each of the final five were given a surprise question. Finally, the awards and the coronation of Miss Polk County 2019.
