After attending the fair convention in Hot Springs, the Miss Newton County Pageant will be receiving a complete overhaul for 2017. One of the major changes will be the addition of the sportswear for Junior Miss contestants, swimwear for Miss contestants, and the private interview for both. The state fair has also chosen a uniform sash and crown for the entire system. Check back for updates throughout the year.
