A life-size bronze statue of Bert Parks, the longtime master of ceremonies of the Miss America Pageant, is now on display in Atlantic City. The $35,000 creation in the courtyard of the Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center is equipped with motion sensors that, when tripped by the head of a visitor, activate a recording of Parks singing “There She Is,” his serenade to each year’s winner. Parks died in 1992 at 77.
