You can still find Miss Door County Kylee Duessler and Miss Door County Teen Emily Bley smiling after last weekend’s Miss Wisconsin pageant. The two participated in the festivities held in Oshkosh, competing against more than 30 other girls across various categories. In the end, Duessler became the county’s first Top 5 finalist in the Miss Wisconsin pageant in the program’s history. Duessler was proud of what she could accomplish, but she beamed over the performance of Bley, who talked her into participating in Miss Door County in the first place.

Even though they will not compete on the national stage, Duessler and Bley are content with supporting local events throughout the rest of the reign. They also look forward to helping plan next year’s Miss Door County and Miss Door County Teen pageants. You can listen to our entire interview with Duessler and Bley by clicking here.
