 New
Greenville College
graduate, Emily Nicholas, 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. Recently 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 throughout 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, Nicholas was awarded $10,000 in
scholarships and the opportunity to represent her state in the January 2007
Miss America
competition.
