contests they would have been called bathing beauty contests and held at sea side resorts like galveston, texas. up and down the eastern coast in virginia, north carolina, south carolina. and these contests were held there but not everybody relished this development because respectable, white southern women were not supposed to put on swim suits and stand up before a group of onlookers and strut around in swim suits. there was a lot of controversy. one of the things i argued helped the competitions become more palatable is the agricultural affair which has a strong history in the rural south. every county had an agricultural fair every year. and what is important about the agricultural fair in terms of beauty contests is that the fair is always about helping farm men and women lead more productive farming lives. they are on their farms over the course of the year, hopefully growing better cotton, tobacco, corn, whatever it is and internalizing lessons that are being caught by demonstrations agents. and these agents are sent to teach men how to grow these crops. they are sent to teach women how to do what they need to d
