Congratulations to the new Miss Hamilton, Heather Lindsay!

Congratulations to the new Miss Hamilton, Heather Lindsay! Heather is a 20 year old International Business major at Sinclair Community College in Dayton. Tonight she sang “Standup for Love” for the talent competition and her platform is Big Brothers Big Sisters: Helping Children Reach Their Greatest Potential. Heather enjoys playing softball, singing and dancing.

This is her first title in the Miss Ohio system; she proves the adage “third time’s a charm” as she competed in the past two locals (Miss Central Ohio and Miss Greater Dayton) and I believe they were her first two locals.
Heather also won awards for Outstanding Talent, Onstage Question, Evening Gown and Swimsuit.
