Miss Teenage America

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Miss Teenage America Pageant was started in 1961 as a pageant for High School girls. Sponsored by Dr Pepper, the pageant was held in Dallas, Texas for most of its run. Unlike today's Miss Teen USA and Miss America's Outstanding Teen, this pageant featured girls representing cities and not states.

The pageant was usually televised on the Saturday after Thanksgiving on CBS. The last televised pageant was on November 26, 1977 with Richard Thomas of "The Waltons" as host. Dr Pepper sold the pageant to Teen Magazine in 1981.
