You will soon find out who Miss Wisconsin and Miss Wisconsin Teen are, as the competition began this week with Miss Door County Kaylee Griep, Miss Cherryland Paige Nikodem, Miss Cherryland Teen Elise Jackson and Miss Door County Teen Mia Glocke all vying for the crowns.

The four young women have been in New Berlin this week, not only competing but also bonding with dozens of other contestants from across the state. Preliminary competition in the Miss Wisconsin pageant began Wednesday and continues through Saturday.

While they were not among the preliminary winners in the health and fitness, evening gown and talent competitions, Griep and Nikodem said they were pleased with their performances Wednesday night.

The Miss Wisconsin Teen competition, featuring Glocke and Jackson, will take place Friday. You can follow their journey at the Miss Wisconsin competition on the Miss Door County Facebook page.
