The
Miss City of Sunshine title came into being in 1996 when the
Miss Klamath County program was given the opportunity to
expand their local preliminary competition. This chance
was presented by the Miss Oregon program thanks to the
generous support demonstrated by the community for the
program.
Since that time, ten
women have held the title of Miss City of Sunshine. When
originally implemented, Miss City of Sunshine was crowned in April,
but did not compete in the Miss Oregon Pageant until after the
conclusion of her year of service. However, that practiced was
changed in 1998. That year, our local program sent three
participants to compete for the Miss Oregon crown; Miss Klamath
County, Megan Clinton, Miss City of Sunshine 1997, Vanessa Gardener and
Miss City of Sunshine 1998, Kristin Hargan (who competed as Miss
East Cascade). From that point forward, both titleholders compete in the
Miss Oregon Pageant the July immediately following their crowning
