That new band Rascal Flatts is pretty good.

In the summer of 2002 Rascal Flatts performed at the White Water Carnival & Pageant in Batesville, TN. They had a crowd of about 3000 - 4000 festival spectators. Later that year they released their multi-platinum album "Melt". Needless to say they perform to much bigger crowds now.

The wife of one of this hot new band... Rascal Flatts will make her appearance in Batesville at the White River Water Carnival this year.

Allison Alderson DeMarcus is the wife of Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts. The two met on the set of the video for “These Days” (she was the hot blonde at the airport) and the two were married in May of 2004.

Next week, she will be in Batesville sitting on the panel of judges for the White River Water Carnival beauty pageant. Pageants are something DeMarcus is quite familiar with. DeMarcus is the only woman in Tennessee pageant history to represent the state at Miss Teen USA, Miss America and the Miss USA Pageant.

It was during her reign as Miss Tennessee USA that she landed the starring role in the Rascal Flatts video, “These Days,” which won a Country Music Television "Flameworthy Award" for Group Video of the Year, and she was also selected as a CMT Video Babe.

Named one of Nashville’s 25 Most Beautiful People and placed on the top of Nashville’s “Hot List” by Nashville Lifestyles Magazine, DeMarcus is currently working as a correspondent for “CMT Insider,” is the host of “People Magazine’s Special “on CMT and has been the emcee of the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Pageant for the past eight years.

DeMarcus works as the Nashville correspondent for the TVGuide Channel, the DeMarcus home has been featured on “Good Morning America’s Country Cribs”, and she co-hosted the 2007 Miss America Pageant with Mario Lopez in Las Vegas.

Off camera, DeMarcus serves on the board of trustees for the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Pageant, Make A Wish Foundation and Chi Omega National Recruitment Advisory Board. Her mother, Jane Alderson, is currently serving as the Executive Director of the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Pageant.
