The evening’s program began with a video welcome and greeting from Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey. The program was a walk down memory lane and consisted of live talent presentations as well as videos from the Miss America competition. A grand 5-tier anniversary cake featuring a Miss Alabama crown at the top was created by chef Michael Glenn. A photo gallery of each Miss Alabama titleholder lined the ballroom of The Club.

These quilts are being auctioned to raise money for scholar-
ships for this year’s candidates. The quilts will be awarded to the highest bidder at the Miss Alabama competition, which takes place June 29 to July 2 at Samford University’s Wright Center.
