SPOKANE, Wash. — Miss Washington goes the distance
We are so proud of one of our own today. Miss Washington Danamarie McNicholl, a former KREM 2 reporter, made it to the top 15 at the Miss America competition Sunday night before being eliminated from the Top 10. Miss Idaho Nine Forest got through to the Top 10 but was eliminated from the Top 5. Congratulations to our local contestants for their efforts!
