A ceremonial signing event, featuring Miss Texas Madison Fuller and symbolizing the extension of a contract to keep the Miss Texas Scholarship Pageant in Richardson, was held last month on the Hill Performance Hall stage at the Eisemann Center. The stage has been the location of the crowning of Miss Texas since 2014 and will now continue at least through the year 2020.
The annual competition, which includes the crowning of both Miss Texas and Miss Texas’ Outstanding Teen, is held over the course of a week in late June/early July. It not only brings contestants from across the state and hundreds of spectators to Richardson that week, but is a catalyst for many local pageants within the Miss Texas Scholarship Pageant system to hold their events at the Eisemann Center throughout the year.
The Miss Texas Scholarship Pageant is part of the Miss America Organization, a nonprofit that makes available more than $40 million in cash and tuition scholarship assistance to young women each year
