(MAY 30, 2019)—Cheslie Kryst, who was crowned Miss USA on May 2 at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, Nevada, is coming to High Point. Kryst, who continued her journey to becoming Miss USA by being crowned Miss North Carolina USA in High Point on October 20, 2018, will be at High Point University’s Congdon Hall Ballroom for a private reception with local leaders on Wednesday, June 5 from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. “We are proud to welcome Miss USA Cheslie Kryst to High Point University’s campus,” says High Point University President Dr. Nido Qubein. “Miss USA is a respected, nationally known scholarship program that empowers young women to be role models and mentors for people in our communities. Ms. Kryst’s work as an attorney and as Miss USA provides an incredible platform to inspire others.” Qubein has previously served as chairman of the Board of Directors for the Miss North Carolina USA and the Miss North Carolina Teen USA pageants. “The Miss North Carolina USA pageant is one of our city’s crown jewels that attracts visitors from across North Carolina and beyond,” High Point Convention & Visitors Bureau Director of Sales and Marketing Nancy Bowman said. “The Convention & Visitors Bureau provides logistical and hands-on support for the pageant each year, and we’re thrilled to welcome last year’s pageant winner back to High Point under her newest title as Miss USA.” “High Point has been the home of the Miss North Carolina USA Pageant since 2001 and what better way to thank the High Point Convention & Visitors Bureau, High Point University and all of the businesses that have supported us through the years than to bring Cheslie Kryst, our new Miss USA, back to the place where it all began, “ said Paula Miles, executive Director of RPM Productions, which produces Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants in Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina. After graduating cum laude from University of South Carolina, Kryst received both an MBA and law degree from Wake Forest University. She went on to practice law, becoming licensed in both North and South Carolina. She now works as a civil litigation attorney and defense attorney at Poyner Spruill.

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmjowl UNEASY LIES THE TIARA: CROWNS, CONTRACTS, AND THE REBEKAH REVELS LITIGATION AMANDA HARMON COOLEY* Uneasy lies the head, that wears a crown.1 Beauty queens don't walk; they glide.' ABSTRACT In the last five years, news of various scandals in the pageant industry has inundated media outlets. These recent incidents are by no means outliers in the history of pageantry. This article ex- plores the significance of one of these controversies - the Rebekah Revels litigation, which stemmed from the disputed 2002 Miss North Carolina pageant. For context, this article first outlines allegations of wrongdoing in early pageants. It proceeds with an analysis of how the Revels liti- gation serves as an exemplar of the types of contract lawsuits that may continue to entangle pageant organizations in the future. Finally, the article provides an examination of the specific legal, economic, and sociocultural effects that the Revels litigation has had, and likely will continue to have, upon the business model of the pageant industry.

Based on our research and interviews with local demand generators and other market participants, our analysis indicates that an upper-midscale limited-service hotel best represents the type, cost, amenities and price point best suited to the current and near-term lodging demand identified in the market. Our analysis indicates that it would cost approximately $9,100,000 to develop a 90-room upper- midscale limited-service hotel and the property should produce an unleveraged Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 14.4%. This return is considered reasonable based on accepted market returns for similar hotel investments. If after your review you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact us. Respectfully submitted, Shamrock Capital Robert P. Hill J.
