Pride of the Purchase District

We ARE
Purchase District

 

The Purchase District Pageant, based in Mayfield Kentucky, and covering the original Jackson Purchase District (1818 Chickasaw Territory). We strive to make each one of our contestants feel like family. We understand that the pageant world can be expensive and the experience must be worth the time and effort put into preparing for competition. Run by family and close friends, no matter if you have done 100 pageants or this is your first one, the PDP team strives to make everyone feel welcome and prepared. Our team will work with you during rehearsal to ensure you know exactly what is expected during all areas of competition. PDP believes strongly in every girl striving for their excellence and is a huge supporter of community service, with its motto being “It’s not about the size of the crown you wear, but the size of the impact you make while wearing it that is the most important.”

We are a 501(c)3 with proceeds going to fund youth activities and education scholarships.
