Located in Northwest Missouri, Maryville has been the home of the Miss Northwest Scholarship Pageant since 1988. Over the years, the Pageant Board has added two more titles to the local pageant franchises of Miss Missouri, to include Miss Maryville and Miss Northwest Counties. One of the favorite and enjoyable portions of the pageants here are the junior pageants, which are the fundraisers for our scholarship program. We want to thank the families and friends of the young ladies of our junior programs for their continued support and we hope to encourage new members of our community to participate in our programs.
