The Mooresville Tribune is reporting that history has been made as Taylor Loyd is the first Miss Statesville in the Miss North Carolina’s 85-year history to take the top prize. The 21-year-old daughter of Cinamon and Ashton Loyd told the pageant audience that she originally entered the pageant because her mother was Miss Statesville in the early ’90s and that was how she met her father, so in effect, if you think about it, she owes her very existence to the Miss Statesville organization.
