The Miss Applejack Pageant has been a long standing tradition in Nebraska City. 2005 was the first year in several decades that our community did not have this event. In 2007, Rose Ralstin decided to bring back this much loved tradition. With this come back they added a third age bracket making a total of three winning categories. There is a Little Miss, Jr. Miss and Miss Applejack crowned each year. To help raise the scholarship awards given, there is a Mr. Applejack competition. Organizations, civic groups and businesses nominate a representative that raises funds throughout the year. The candidate that raises the most money is announced as Mr. Applejack the evening of the event. In addition, the Mr. Applejack contestants escort the ladies onto the stage during the evening gown portion of the event. The winning Mr. Applejack continues to accompany the Miss Applejack royalty at parades and other events throughout the year.
