The super-cool Marybeth Noonan stopped by the I-95 studios today to talk about what it takes to compete for the title of Miss America.

Paul and Amanda got to talk to the reigning Miss Maine as she prepares for the upcoming competition in Atlantic City.  During the interview, which you can watch above, Noonan also talked about her appearance in the parade at the Special Olympics at the University of Maine at Orono.

If Noonan claims the crown, she will be the first Miss Maine to do so. We definitely think she's got what it takes.

Before she left, she even gave Paul and Amanda a signed photo, which Paul promptly hung up in the studio.

Miss America airs live on Sept. 11, 2016 on ABC. Be sure to tune in and root for Marybeth!
