Why No Mr.Bond County?

Last month, I attended the Witt Labor Day Parade. Despite its tiny size, Witt manages to cough up a more exciting parade than Greenville has most years, with participation even from Springfield-area musical outfits and everything.

I noticed that many, many counties and towns around Greenville have Little Mr. pageants. Greenville has had Little Miss Bond County for a long time. Little Miss Bond County used to be crowned, but now they're all crowned.

Hillsboro has Mr. Muscle. That's too old-fashioned and stereotypical, but why doesn't Bond County move into the 21st century and hold a Little Mr. Bond County pageant?

Could it be for lack of participation? This year's Little Miss pageant could apparently only attract one little guy as an escort, unlike the two or three escorts of past years.
