Miss Tennessee Volunteer Pageant returns for night three – WBBJ TV
JACKSON, Tenn. — The Miss Tennessee Volunteer Pageant is coming up on the final night of the competition here in the Hub City.
Many residents have attended this pageant all week and anxiously await that crowning moment.
This pageant has been a major attraction here this week. According to the Community Economic Development Commission survey the Miss Tennessee Volunteer pageant brings in over $2 million during this time every year.
The semifinals for the Miss Tennessee Volunteer Pageant is coming to a close. The winner will be crowned on Saturday night.
Miss Tennessee Teen Volunteer, Kristin Henning, tells us what drew her to the competition.
“I remember meeting Jada Brown, our Miss Tennessee Volunteer, last year whenever she was a judge in Miss Juneteenth Jackson and I’ve been seeing her pop up around my community. I remember how sweet she was and that’s really what made me want to join this organization,” said Henning.
Miss Tennessee Iris Teen, Katherine West, tells us they’ve had a full week but finding a consistent balance has been most beneficial throughout this entire process.
“I think being 100% authentically and truly yourself is one of the key things. You have to have kindness. You have to be kind towards others and you have to be kind towards yourself especially because this week we have hit the ground running. We have like five to six hours of sleep every single night, so we’ve had to take some time for ourselves throughout the day and be kind to our bodies,” said West.
Many contestants have expressed gratitude for the support they’ve received from the community.
“How deserving people are in this community. They’re so sweet, so kind and willing to take in anybody who is, well, a part of this competition,” said Henning.
It’s far from over as the remaining semifinalist prepare to hit the stage one last time to see who will be crowned the title of Miss Tennessee Volunteer 2025.
Win, lose, or draw, the contestants are thankful for the experience and connections they’ve had the opportunity to create.
The final night of competition, including the crowning of a new Miss Tennessee Volunteer, starts at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Carl Perkins Center.

Former Titans QB Addresses Will Levis Situation
The Tennessee Titans quarterback room looks a little different this season without Ryan Tannehill, who is not on the roster for the first time since 2019.
Tannehill, who turns 36 this weekend, saw his contract expire at the end of the 2023 season and was not offered a new one after the team signed Mason Rudolph and had Will Levis taken in the second round of last year’s NFL Draft.
While Tannehill’s career in Tennessee is over partially due to Levis, the veteran wishes the young signal caller nothing but the best.
“He’s a very talented guy. He’s big, he’s physical, he’s got a great arm, and did some great things when he got in there last year. We’ll see what happens and I wish him nothing but the best,” Tannehill told NFL insider Dianna Russini.
Last year, Tannehill struggled for the Titans to begin the season and the team was just 2-4 before ultimately deciding to make a switch to Levis, something the veteran wasn’t thrilled about.
“I’m not going to say it’s a fun place to be. A lot of people have been through it. It’s nothing new. It’s part of the business and we had a good relationship, right? There was nothing, no animosity or anything. I don’t have hard feelings against Will [Levis]. He’s trying to chase his dream just like I was coming out of college too,” Tannehill said.
The switch at quarterback was definitely a “passing of the torch” in some ways. Tannehill was supposed to be a backup in Tennessee and nothing more. Instead, when he was thrust into the starting lineup in 2019, he turned it into five seasons as the franchise guy in Tennessee, earning him another major contract in his 30’s. He led the Titans to the playoffs in three consecutive seasons, including the No. 1 seed in the AFC in 2021.
The Titans can only hope Levis has a similar level of success that Tannehill had.
