Miss Massachussetts Alicia Zitka and Miss New Jersey Ashley Fairfield shown posing during Friday's visit to The Palazzo and The Venetian. The New England area -- Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Massachussetts -- has not produced a winner since 1933. New Jersey's last Miss America was in 1984 when Suzette Charles, who finished first runnerup, replaced Vanessa Williams, who resigned after scandalous photos surfaced.
