I've never met anyone who regretted their time at the National Sweetheart Pageant!\\xa0 If you've been there, you know how special it is!!!\\xa0 In short, it's a mini-Miss-America, in the middle of a cornfield, with an incredible group of volunteers, who've been welcoming Runner Ups from across the country since the 1950's... And today, we talk to Cliff and Michelle Crabtree about why this pageant means so much to them, and to the community of Hoopeston, Illinois.\\xa0 It's a National Treasure - You've got to see it to believe it! #JunkiesLoveSweetheart
