About the Pageant
Miss City of Lakes was held in conjunction with Miss West Metro as an Open Sweeps pageant. Participation was open to all contestants who were not current titleholders in the Miss Minnesota system, who had previously competed in a Minnesota Local, and who still met all the eligibility requirements set forth by the rules of the Miss America Organization.
