Stacy Hedger, Miss Douglas!

According to this anonymous YouTube poster, this video is a Kansas City classic. Stacy Hedger, Miss Douglas, uses her trumpet to entertain — and to ward off storm troopers — for the talent portion of an unnamed beauty contest.

Unfortunately, there’s little on this tape to help identify where the talented Ms. Hedger lived. There are towns and counties named Douglas in Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. Chances are she uses a married name by now (what a catch!), and there’s no Stacy Hedger listed in the three-state area. There’s also no mention of a Stacy Hedger on LexisNexis, the online catalogue of all newspaper stories for roughly the last decade.

So Stacy, you trumpet-as-a-light-saber talent, care to reveal yourself? — Eric Barton
