Haley Houston Owns the Show at MPC-2018, LIVINGSTON, January 28, 2018 - Well, the annual Miss Polk County Pageant took place on Saturday night was executed to flawless perfection. Nine Miss Polk County contestants, and Seven Junior Miss contestants took the stage and delivered a show worthy of praise. When all was said and done, it was Haley Houston who rose to the top again and again and was ultimately crowned Miss Polk County 2018. The theme of the evening was the United Kingdom. Throughout the evening, classic rock from British Rock Greats such as the Beatles, Elton John, David Bowie and other classics were being played during the pageant (although, someone managed to slip some AC/DC in, which is odd since AC/DC is an Aussie band... but hey, they still talk funny... so hey). Miss Polk County, 1982, Jami Alexander kicked off the evening thanking the audience, sponsors and promoting a healthy, good cause. Alexander then turned the show over to Masters of Ceremony, Joel Cassiday and Aaron Kerss who did their jobs quite well keeping the show moving along while being goofy all at the same time. A new wrinkle was added to this year's show; the talent portion is now optional and doesn't count towards the overall score, but is a separate event to compete for. Of course, Haley owned that part of the show as well.
