SUMMARY:Beyond the Sash: Reflections on Oklahoma Pageants  exhibit opens
DESCRIPTION:With six Miss America winners to its name\, Oklahoma has long been a powerhouse in the world of pageantry. Opening on Saturday\, August 30\, Beyond the Sash: Reflections on Oklahoma Pageants is a new exhibit at the Oklahoma History Center Museum that explores the depth and variety of the state’s pageants and cultural representation. Through both historic and contemporary examples\, the exhibit examines how these events reflect tradition\, identity\, and change. \nFrom national competitions like Miss America to local honors such as Fairest of the Fair and cultural ambassador titles within tribal and multicultural communities\, Oklahoma’s many forms of pageants have served as platforms for personal achievement\, artistic and cultural expression\, and public service. The exhibit highlights the varied experiences of participants across generations and backgrounds. \nFeatured objects include gowns\, crowns\, sashes\, trophies\, and accessories from statewide pageants and cultural competitions\, including personal items from Jane Jayroe\, Miss America 1967. Visitors will also see items from Muscogee (Creek)\, Ponca\, Hispanic\, and Asian communities; contemporary rhinestone tiaras and sashes; and garments from youth competitions such as Little Miss India Oklahoma and Mayan heritage celebrations. \nBeyond the Sash opens to the public on Saturday\, August 30\, in the Sam Noble Gallery of the Oklahoma History Center Museum. \n
