The annual Miss UT Martin Volunteer Pageant and Miss Weakley County Volunteer Pageant will be held at 6 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 14, at the Phillip W. Watkins Auditorium in the Boling University Center on the University of Tennessee at Martin campus.
Tickets will be on sale at the door.
Eleven students will take part in the pageants, where the title of Miss UT Martin Volunteer will be awarded and a new Miss Weakley County Volunteer will be announced.
The reigning Miss UT Martin Volunteer is Kayla Mick, a senior fine arts and performing arts major from Baxter, while the reigning Miss Weakley County Volunteer is Maggie McClendon, a May 2025 cum laude graduate in engineering from Clarksville. Both will be on hand to present the crown to their successors.
The pageants are two of more than 30 such statewide competitions that will send a representative to the Miss Tennessee Volunteer Pageant in Jackson next July.
Meghan Poore, a 2023 UT Martin marketing graduate from Medina, won the 2026 Miss Tennessee Volunteer Pageant last July.
