Legacy

A READING TRADITION FOR OVER 50 YEARS

The Miss Berks County program empowers young women to pursue and achieve their academic, career, and personal goals.

"In 1961 I became the first Miss Berks County. It was a wonderful experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life. It gave me the opportunity to meet many new people and make lifelong friends. The experiences during my reign included a scholarship to the Philadelphia Dance Academy, which expanded my opportunities as a professional dancer, model, dance teacher, and flight attendant. I am now retired and serve as the Personal Appearance Coordinator and chaperone for the Miss Berks County Scholarship Organization. I recommend participating in the pageant... It gives you those experiences that are invaluable for the rest of your life. Experience is the best teacher." Joann (Troutman) Hyneman, Miss Berks County 1961

"My year as Miss Berks County is my greatest accomplishment and memory, right next to college graduation. Being Miss Berks County gave me an extra boost of strength, courage, and confidence to move across the country right out of college. I am now pursuing a professional dancing career as I teach 5th grade in Southern California. I will always be Miss Berks County in my heart." Megan (Robinson) Fenderson, Miss Berks County 2004

"In a competitive business like television, being Miss Berks County often gave me an edge. It got my foot in the door and prepared me for job interviews. Being a titleholder has given me more confidence, taught me to ad-lib (a lot), and to be prepared for anything. Now, having ten+ years experience in anchoring, hosting, weather forecasting, reporting, and producing, my on-air versatility is my strongest asset." Janelle (White) Wolfe, Miss Berks County 1997
