This week on South Carolina Focus, we learn more about an eagerly-awaited annual event in the Palmetto State – the Miss South Carolina Pageant, which will be broadcast on statewide TV Saturday, June 27. Executive Producer Jay Pitts gives us an insight into the many elements – lighting, music, choreography, costumes and more - that go into making the spectacle that is the pageant, which will originate from Columbia’s Township Auditorium. Additional perspective comes from one of the contestants, Miss Hilton Head Island – who just happens to be ETV Radio’s own Kate McKinney!
