Can Lexington do it again?

Reigning Miss South Carolina Morgan Nichols and Miss South Carolina Teen Kellan Fenegan are both of Lexington.

Since this year’s competition has been postponed to the week of July 26, both will continue in their roles until then.

The final night crowning will be at the Township Auditorium in Columbia. Saturday, Aug. 1, and shown on Wach-Fox TV.

“The health and well-being of our candidates, their families, our competition volunteers and production team are what matter most during this unprecedented time,” said Erin Gambrell of the Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization.

“Crowning a new Miss South Carolina and Miss South Carolina Teen are traditions we will continue, but only when it is safe to do so.”

The new Miss South Carolina will receive a $60,000 college scholarship, the largest in the nation, and will compete later this year for the job of Miss America. Over $200,000 is awarded annually to South Carolina’s local and state titleholders.

The Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization is also #1 in the nation as the top fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, contributing over $1 million to help the Palmetto State’s youngest residents in need of special hospital care.

Specific details of Competition Week are being determined and will be announced as soon as possible at www.miss-sc.org .
