Literally every place you linked, is out in the middle of countryville, nowhere (pop < 5k). Just because some small town of hillbillys are doing it, does not mean it is popular or widespread.
One of them is literally a link to the state fair. You clearly didn’t even look.
You’re also so busy being a snob that you haven’t actually shown any evidence of this beyond “they’re not listed on Wikipedia” as if that’s some sort of proof. Considering I showed you four examples not listed on Wikipedia, including one for a state with a population of 7 million people, you’re simply wrong.
Dude, your own example was wrong. I’m not going to go through every county you pick to see whether or not you are right this time. If you can’t admit you’re wrong, fine, but don’t keep wasting my time by not even admitting you’re wrong with your own example before moving on.
But fine, I’ll prove you wrong twice. I’m sure you still won’t just admit you’re wrong.
That’s fine, I’ll keep trying - because an absolute statement like “Every County in Every State has them” is just not something I can believe. I told you they weren’t popular, I’ve proven that. I told you that it stopped ages ago; I’ve proven that. But if you’re going to make me disprove your absolute statement, then I’m up for it.

If this doesn’t convince you, nothing will: https://i.imgur.com/nf8QKhR.png
EXISTING does not mean popularity. Popularity, means a majority of people participate, watch, or enjoy said thing.
Beauty Pageants are a NICHE. Most people don’t give a flying fuck about them. They are not a common pass-time of the American consumer.
Even better – here’s a nice COMPARISON to the search term for “Grill”; a nice neutral term that should show you: https://i.imgur.com/b1dL7mv.png
Holy fuck - It should not be this difficult to get such a simple fucking concept through your thick skull.
Me:
You:
You can insult me all you like, but you were still wrong.
But do tell me what enlightened place you live in that has no local beauty contest. I sincerely doubt where you live doesn’t have one.
I just picked a county in my state; Taylor, Florida - they don’t have beauty pageants. There.
Just from a random pick, I’ve managed to find one. You claim “every county in every state”… well, there’s a state, and a county…and I didn’t even try.
Go ahead. Dig those heels in. Get even more pedantic about previous conversation. Where are you gonna move the goalposts this time, big guy?
Sorry… you just complained about me picking things in the middle of nowhere and you picked a county with a population of 21,796?
Oh hey, look at that, it still has one: https://www.facebook.com/misstaylorcounty/
These are this year’s winners. Some of them look quite young.
You didn’t look very hard.
You seriously tried telling me that your amazingly enlightened state of Florida (LO fucking L) doesn’t have a lot of beauty pageants?
Fine then, try Dixie, FL – I don’t have access to Facebook, I quit that shit long ago. I didn’t find one for Taylor County when I searched.
