Mike; Immediately after clicking the "post" button in response to your post, I called the Miss America Headquarters at the Sheraton Hotel in Atlantic City. (609) 345-7571. I spoke to Sally Romanowski, who is the Miss America Parade Chairperson. Ms. Romanowski told me that she had sent out over 1000 invitations to potential participants.... INCLUDING every casino. No response. When asked why do you suppose is that? ... she told me, "I have no idea".
