This was the 2008 Mrs. Oregon International Pageant. It was held at the Sheraton hotel next to the Portland Int'l Airport. The pageant is only for married women. Each of the contestants had the opportunity to show off their style, fitness and personality. One of the important parts of this pageant, and many, that the contestants have platforms that they put effort into. This event, and its Miss Teen and Ms versions, produced three women who enriched their communities by providing attention to their passions.—Gleason, Dennis Carl
