talent competitions

A few weeks ago in the News and Observer, there was an article about a two pageants in Maryland (60 miles from Washington) where the contestants show off skin - for talent. Evidently there is normally two competitions: one where girls dress up in their finery; another where they have to skin a muskrat for the judges. Evidently this year two young girls decided to mix the two pageants. One of the girls, claiming she couldn't sing, dance, or play a musical instrument, walked out on stage during the talent performance wearing sparkly earrings and her evening gown, and proceeded to skin the football-sized muskrat. The 17-year old made the Washington Post; nothing was said about the actual beauty pageant winner.

Reckon we could find enough non-squeamish girls to have a coon queen in NC?
