Miss Nebraska’s father was killed just a few days ago in a farm accident in Greeley County. Sheriff David Weeks says 55-year-old Harry Wright died Friday night when his skid steer ran into him, pinning him. Harry Wright had been fixing fences on his property that day when the accident happened. Belinda Wright’s grandmother, Darlene Jensen, says she came back to Nebraska Saturday afternoon. She didn't know whether her granddaughter would still compete. Belinda’s supportive family is encouraging her to do so. Belinda Wright said her dad loved farming and loved being outside with his animals and listening to oldies music. He listened to The Temptations and Jackson 5. Within five minutes of conversation with him, Belinda said you'd know his heart was "made of gold".
A recent report stated Miss Nebraska Belinda Wright would in fact compete in the Miss USA pageant. The 21-year-old has decided she will return to Vegas despite the tragic loss of her father. Belinda wrote in an email, "I'm dedicating the entire event to my father. He was so proud and so excited to go watch.”
The 2010 Miss USA Pageant is Sunday night May 16th on NBC. Celebrity Chef Curtis Stone will host the event.
