Nancy Ferrara prepares for the Miss South Carolina pageant in Greenville with chaperones George and Margie Seigler. She selected three vivid gowns and a pink sequined ensemble, choreographs with Carl Crosby, and relies on family support for coaching and sewing.
George Seigler has run the Miss Aiken County Pageant since 1964 when it was Jaycee led. He and partners took over in 1977 and formed a scholarship foundation, making the local pageant a model for the state. Seigler designs sets in December, rehearsals begin in January, and the April pageant leads to state competition in Greenville. He videotapes contestants to refine performances and serves on the state board, calmly enduring many headaches for a cause he enjoys.
