The Ohio International program, which used to be held here in the Toledo area, has been taken over by Andy and Vickie Le Veck and will be held at the Seacrest Auditorium. The Teen pageant will be at 2 p.m., Miss at 5 p.m. and after they put their kids to bed, the Mrs.’ will compete at 8 p.m.!
Miss Ohio local titleholders are invited to wear their crowns and watch for free.
The women above who will be giving up their crowns are Miss Teen Ohio International, who went on to win the national title Miss Teen International (Miss Teen Cincinnati), Alexandra Desantis, Mrs. Ohio International (Mrs. Cincinnati), Kecia Pringle and Miss Ohio International (Miss Columbus), Britany Jordan.
Now, allow me to answer your three burning questions:
#1. Why didn’t I compete? I thought about it, but I’m moving to LA at the beginning of April; thus, had I won, I couldn’t have fulfilled my duties.
#2. Am I going and taking pictures? Yes, Lauren Hogan and I are going to the Miss pageant and meeting a few other fabulous ladies of Ohio pageantry. Of course I’ll take photos, unless an announcement is made otherwise.

ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! I knew her name was familiar, but my late night, half asleep research couldn't figure out why!
ReplyDeleteIf anyone else has similar info or corrections, please leave a comment... Being a one-woman show means I need your help from time to time. :)

Lisa I. (who won Ohio Teen) is a former Cinderella Teen Pageant winner, Ohio National TeenAger top national contender and some others - I can't remember them all...She is also the current Miss Columbus Teen. :) ~Rachel C.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for printing information about us Abby! I am very appreciative. How did you know that I am the production manager of the Miss Black Ohio USA Scholarship Pageant?! LOL! The Mrs. Ohio International competition was great, the staff "A Class", the judges fantastic and the ladies were fabulous. What a great way to spend the weekend. But the highlight for me was showing off for my husband Markus and winning the Mrs. Ohio Spirit of Competition Award. I was totally humbled and honored! I am totally looking forward to next year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Ocipare.
ReplyDeleteI love covering all types of pageants and it’s great to hear the experience was enjoyable for the contestants. I wish I could have watched and photographed the Teen and Mrs. Pageants as well, but I could only make the Miss program.
I googled all the contestants to find my information. :)
