The 2020-21 International United Miss Kansas Teen Katelyn Burks will be attending this year’s Good Ol’ Days Festival as a part of her summer tour. Burks is excited to kick off the weekend by hosting the Fort Scott Talent Show. Burks also plans to ride in the parade June 4 and sign autographs at the festival June 5.

Burks began her pageant journey five years ago and is eager to represent the state of Kansas at the International United Miss pageant July 2021 at the Seaview Resort in Galloway, NJ.

Burks is a freshman studying communications and marketing at Oklahoma Baptist University where she is building the skillset to spread her platform Connect the Dots: Creating real relationships and connections with those around us.

International United Miss is a scholarship-style pageant system dedicated to the girls and women who represent it. They pride themselves in recognizing the incredible accomplishments of their Queens and competitors, achieved both on and off the pageant stage. The experienced directors (who together have over 35 years of dedication to the pageant community) along with their staff have worked diligently to create a pageant organization focused on the competition aspects that really work the best and that delegates enjoy the most. Beauty is not only on the outside, but the inside as well which is why they have based their system around the aspects of personal judges’ interview, community service and involvement, as well as poise and personality during on stage competitions.
