The pageant was hosted by America’s favorite married woman, Mrs. Brady, Florence Henderson and her daughter Barbara Chase.
From the 51 delegates, the judges selected ten semi-finalists following Tuesday’s preliminary competition. They were:
* Mrs. California, Jennifer Glava
* Mrs. Colorado, Janell Ames
* Mrs. Florida, April Luifriu
* Mrs. Georgia, Tiffany Marsha
* Mrs. Hawaii, Lara Leimana Fonoimoana
* Mrs. Idaho, Kristie Bear

Two additional semi-finalists, selected through online voting, were Mrs. Virginia, Rachel Travis and Mrs. West Virginia, Kayla Tilley.
The two staff-selected semi-finalists were
* Mrs. Arkansas, Amanda Patterson and
* Mrs. Nebraska, Karalyn Hoefer.
Jim Justice, owner of The Greenbrier, drew the 15thsemi-finalist name at random, Mrs. New York , Karen O’Hara. The delegates spent two weeks at The Greenbrier where they toured the Cold War-era Congressional bunker, learned the art of falconry and discovered the fun of fly fishing. They also spent a morning hanging drywall and siding on the Habitat for Humanity Women Build home in White Sulphur Springs, WV.
The Mrs. America pageant will air as a two-hour primetime special on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8, on My Family TV, R&R TV, Retro TV and the Dish Network.
