The traditional "Show Us Your Shoes" parade on Saturday featured 53 Miss America hopefuls riding down Atlantic City's boardwalk in convertibles, each sporting creatively decorated shoes to evoke their home state.

Miss Oregon, Rebecca Anders

on, had tiny bicycles on her shoes and wore a bike helmet since Portland is known as a bike-friendly city.

The next Miss America will be crowned during Sunday night's nationally televised finale.
