Recent Graduate Emily Nicholas, Wins Miss Iowa Competition
 GREENVILLE,
IL – Emily Nicholas, recent Greenville College graduate and winner of
the Miss Cedar River pageant, won the title of Miss Iowa in June.
Nicholas began the competition by winning the talent portion for her
vocal performance. Nicholas studied Contemporary Christian Music at the
college.
Nicholas began her pageant run after
encouragement from her older sister Carolyn Nicholas who won both Miss
Cedar River and Miss Iowa in 2004. Emily and Carolyn sang the national
anthem for a Republican fundraiser in Des Moines, IA. The Nicholas
sisters also perform together at youth events, nursing homes, and other
venues through out Iowa. The two have written and recorded songs
together. Their song, “Where Beauty Lives,” speaks to the heart of
Emily's platform “Character Counts: Be All That You Can Be”.
As the winner of the Miss Iowa competition, Nichols was awarded a
$10,000 scholarship and the opportunity to represent her state in the
January 2007 Miss America competition.
