In March 1987, both El Paso County and the El Paso City Council voted to support a bid to host Miss Teen USA 1987, each contributing an equal share of the financial backing. [2] [3] El Paso provided over 300 volunteers, 3,000 hotel room nights, and $150,000 in funding to facilitate the event [4] The expected return on their investment included 15 minutes of promotional footage of the El Paso area, broadcast to over 80 million viewers throughout the United States.

Richard Guy and Rex Holt, directors of the Miss Texas USA pageant at the time, were involved in bringing the pageant to El Paso and organising the event. [6] [7]
A state 'gift' auction, featuring items donated by contestants from each state, along with a state costume competition, collectively raised over $3,800 for charities in El Paso. [8] The state costume competition was won by Juli Hodges, Miss Arizona Teen USA, who appeared dressed as a gold thunderbird.

For the first time in the history of the Miss Teen USA pageant, the Miss Photogenic award resulted in a tie, with Raye-Anne Johnson of Rhode Island and Angie Aylor of California sharing the honor. [10]
