Keeping-up with Karissa: IHOP Hopping for National Pancake Day

Miss Ohio, Karissa Martin, literally crossed the state yesterday to serve up pancakes and raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. I can't take credit for the witty title; that was the subject of the email she sent me containing these great photos:

In Cincinnati she attended a Dance Marathon (a popular CMN fundraiser on college campuses) and made pancakes with the IHOP mascot, Bonnie Blueberry.

Up in the Cleveland area they let her in the kitchen
at Steelyeard Commons...

... It looks like the Brookpark location sold a lot of balloons:

And finally, she poses with the staff in Elyria.

I don't know who her traveling companion is, but I thank whoever took these.
