Pageant generates significant revenue for local economy

T

The Miss Tennessee Pageant is a June tradition in Jackson, bringing in significant tourism dollars every year.

he Miss Tennessee Pageant, held each year in Jackson’s Carl Perkins Civic Center, is one of the premier pageants in the country and generates significant tourism revenue for the community. For four nights in June, the Civic Center is packed with 2,200 guests, and more than half of them come from out of town, said Jimmy Exum, the pageant’s president and producer. Exum is also chairman of the Jackson Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors. The last time an impact study was funded several years ago, the pageant garnered $1 million annually for the community. Since then, Exum said the impact has most likely doubled. Most visitors stay for an entire week, eating at restaurants, shopping, visiting other local attractions and sleeping in hotels. It’s a vacation for them, and the economic impacts ripple through the community. “It is one of the larger events we have here, especially because of the length of time,” Exum said. “When you think about what all those people do, staying here a week of their lives, it mounts up pretty fast.” Because of the upscale nature of the event, people also spend money on new clothes, their

hair, manicures, pedicures and other spa services. “It’s not a blue jeans event,” Exum said. The pageant returns June 15-18 for its 64th year in Jackson, which makes it unique. It’s also the only show in the Miss America system that has continued to have a full live orchestra, and it consistently ranks as a top-five pageant in the United States. “It ranks up there with some of the best in the Miss America system,” Exum said. “We’ve always been a leader with the program, and we’re very proud to have maintained it. We’ve enjoyed some good years here.” The pageant is broadcast locally on EPlus TV6 and streamed online across the country. Exum said they even receive letters from viewers overseas. Lori Nunnery, executive director of the Jackson Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the pageant provides a healthy dose of tourism revenue and great exposure for the community. “The Miss Tennessee Pageant is one of our most important events,” Nunnery said. “It is the premier pageant in the state, and it brings national attention to our community. We’re happy to welcome new visitors each year and show them why Jackson is special.”

Simmons First Insurance invests in clients

S

everal names have been over the door at the insurance office on 458 Oil Well Rd. in the last few years: Cornerstone Consolidated Insurance, First State Insurance and most recently, Simmons First Insurance Services (SFIS). Don Ross, insurance agent at SFIS and a West Tennessee native, has worked in the insurance industry for 24 years. “The best thing about the industry is being able to help people and giving back to the community,” Ross said. “There’s a saying I heard once: ‘Never forget where you came from, never lose focus on where you’re going or the lives you will impact on the way there.’” Ross said he strives to live by that quote daily as he helps others through his work

in the insurance industry. Ross gives credit to the Jackson Chamber for helping SFIS build its home in Jackson and for making Jackson a better place to live for the members of its community. “The Chamber hosts networking events that have helped me meet people I would not have met if I had not participated in those events,” Ross said. “Those things are crucial – it’s hard to put a price on, but you must be willing to re-invest in the community in return.” The Jackson Chamber is doing a fantastic job to work with local schools to ensure that students are well educated and to seek out the needs of local companies, Ross said. He believes the chamber is not

only helping Madison County, but West Tennessee as a whole. Much like the Jackson Chamber of Commerce is focused on making life better for members of the community, SFIS is fully invested in its clients, Ross said. SFIS is focused on being part of the local community, he added; the business wants to be a contributor in the community first and foremost, not just a consumer. “We are here to help people,” Ross said. “We don’t just want to take your money. Insurance is an intangible item. We are only as good as our word, and being here for 24 years in the industry, I have delivered. It is crucial knowing someone will be there when you need them. The name over our door may have changed three times in

Don Ross the last three years, but our desire to help people remains the same.” Simmons First Insurance Services is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. To contact the office, call 731-6689090 or visit simmonsfirst.com.

Madison Academic ... Continued from front

seven subjects under the category of “India.� The students take three quizzes a day and often bring in outside help for subjects that are particularly difficult. The students are not only tested on the information, they also are required to write an essay, deliver a speech and perform interviews. Paula Maxon has been Madison’s decathlon coach for four years. She was taught Madison’s effective system of retaining information by the previous coach and believes that their system has set them apart over the last decade. While Maxon pointed to the students’ hard work as the primary indicator of their victories, other teams have tried to decipher Madison’s system to duplicate their success. What’s so special about their system? “We can’t tell; it’s a secret,� said Maxon.

Madison Academic students show off their awards. From left, back row, they are Drake Oberholtzer, Collin Wilcox, Colton Callis, Mary Wheeler and Will Madison; and front row, Coach Paula Maxon, Shelley Weaks, Matthew Michael, Ashley Arinze, Tiwong Nance and Coach Linda Lane.
