Miss America

There is absolutely no shortage of fun -- and free -- things to do on the Atlantic City Boardwalk this summer.

The Miss New Jersey competition was as emotional a night for outgoing crown holder Kaitlyn Schoeffel as it was for the new one, Jaime Gialloreto.

Kaitlyn Schoeffel, the reigning Miss New Jersey, said the swimsuit competition at the Miss America pageant last fall was the most empowering moment of her life.

The Miss America Organization has announced they are dropping the swimsuit competition from its annual competition, saying they will no longer judge contestants on their appearance.

The Miss America Competition will return to Boardwalk Hall later this year and you will be able to watch the competition on national TV.

On Friday, Miss America Organization members partook in "Miss America Serves Day" by painting fences and doing some community service for the South Jersey Area.

After a scandal threatened to put an end to the 97-year-old Atlantic City tradition, Miss America will be back in in town for at least one more year, as the CRDA approved $4.3M in funding on Tuesday.

Miss America Organization loses its TV partner after CEO Sam Haskell was found to have sent vulgar and insensitive emails referring to woman of the pageant.

It was a great night for New Jersey's own Kaitlyn Schoeffel at the annual Miss America contest as the Egg Harbor Township resident finished second runner-up.

All 51 state title holders, who are competing for the Miss America crown, spent the night before the big pageant cruising down the Atlantic City boardwalk wearing the most spectacular shoes (and costumes) you'll ever see.
