PAGEANT HISTORY
The Miss Coon Rapids Scholarship Program is proud to be home to three Miss Minnesotas since our inauguration in 1965: Susan Erickson, Miss Minnesota 1978, Julie Richardson, Miss Minnesota 1991, and Megan Torgerson, Miss Minnesota 2003

The Miss Coon Rapids Pageant began as a community service project of the Coon Rapids Jaycees, it has always been a part of the Coon Rapids Snowflake Days celebration.

The Miss Coon Rapids Scholarship Pageant was incorporated in 1986. We have always had a strong program thanks to our dedicated volunteers, many who have been with our program for over 20 years! We have many new volunteers with our program this year who are very excited to produce the best Miss Coon Rapids Scholarship program ever!!
