ST. LOUIS -- ST. LOUIS, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Just three weeks into the search for the Mrs. Missouri 2003 Pageant contestants, Jackie McKenna announced today that the Pageant is attracting more interest this year than ever before. McKenna attributes this to the popularity of reality television encouraging more women to pursue their goals, more than $10,000 in cash and prizes at stake, hosting the Pageant in St. Louis for the first time (no less at The Ritz-Carlton), and the opportunity to help the Pageant's first charitable partner, Dress for Success Midwest, raise money to help underprivileged women find their first jobs and become self-sufficient.
