Huge thanks to Jillian Dansko for posting this slideshow:

I think it's safe to say every contestant jokes about, if not truly believes, in good luck charms, like the attendance of certain fans for example. In Emily's case, it's her mom camera! Lora Pheils is an extremely supportive pageant mom who always has her camera, but last night she forgot it and couldn't capture the winning moment above for herself.

The contestants, left to right in the photo above, which I assume is contestant order:

Former Miss Ohio, Marlia Fontaine-Wiesse performed last night and crowned Emily; she looks stunning in the teal gown below!

These photos came from contestant Megan Wombacker's Facebook. Above she's posing with Ashley Hartman, who I am sad to now call former contestant. It is baffling to me how she never won a local title; she's selling her pageant wear and getting married, check my sidebar for a link to her things.
