Oh, the Places She’ll Go! 🎈

You may have noticed a little extra sparkle ! Newly crowned Miss Massachusetts USA, Kay Montano, recently visited The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum before heading off to compete for Miss USA. 🇺🇸 ✨

Kayshauna’s journey began right here in Western Mass, and we were honored to welcome her home and collaborate with someone representing our state on a national stage.

What brought Miss Massachusetts to the Museums in the first place? We have to keep that part under our Hat for now…but keep watching! Soon, you’ll see what all the excitement is about! 👀
