Ms. Redneck Alabama 2013, Woodstock, Alabama, United States

Ms. Redneck Alabama was not your average kind of pageant. Instead of dresses, contestants showed off cowboy boots and Daisy Dukes. Instead of singing "The Star-Spangled Banner," some of them sang "Country Girl (Shake It for Me)" by Luke Bryan or "Gunpowder and Lead" by Miranda Lambert. More than 100 people turned out for the event at the Woodstock Festival Art Center. The event was the first of its kind to be held there, said Shelia Gunter, who helped organize it. The center normally hosts bands and other local artists. "It's very unusual, very unique," Gunter said. "It's Cracker Barrel meets Hard Rock Cafe."
Seven women vied for the title of Ms. Redneck Alabama, with Katrina Hogg of West Blocton coming out in first place. She received $100 in cash, several gift cards and the coveted title. Rachel Musso of Bessemer and Alana Thomas of West Blocton won first- and second- runner-up, respectively. Contestants were judged in three categories: Answering a redneck-themed question, talent and Daisy Dukes (poise and personality). The second segment was redneck talent. In an effort to out-redneck one other, contestants sang country music, danced to country music and funneled soft drinks. Musso sang "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson while making a baloney sandwich.
