By choosing to attend her sister’s wedding, Emily Johnson has been stripped of her title and her prize. She is however not obliged to return the crown that she was given. Maine says the runner up in the state contest will now represent the state during the pageant in June.
June is not the month that the event is mainly held. However due to some circumstances, the organizers have moved the pageant to the summer. Johnson says the weekend that the event has been fixed clashes with her sister’s wedding so she would have to ditch the pageant for her sister’s wedding.
Miss Maine pageant Executive Director Mackenzie Davis expressed her disappointment that Johnson wouldn’t be able to perform her duties as Miss Maine. According to Davis, becoming Miss Maine carries with it some serious commitments and there is no excuse why Johnson should shun them.
