Who better than Miss America 2009 to join with Vegas DeLuxe to wish all of you a wonderful and safe Fourth of July holiday weekend?

Our good friend the adorable Katie Stam of Seymour, Ind., began her reign in January, and she’ll be back again at Planet Hollywood next January for the 2010 pageant, which will for the first time in decades feature a Miss Puerto Rico contestant.

As the nation celebrates its 233rd birthday, Katie will serve as grand marshal at two Southern California parades. Two weeks ago, she was here in Las Vegas as she reached the halfway mark of her yearlong reign. Click HERE for that interview.
