Best of Luck to the Miss Central Ohio Pageant Tonight!

Tonight in the J. Gilbert Reece Center of the OSU-Newark branch campus Katie Camp will give away her final crown in the Miss Ohio system. She has "aged out" and will certainly be missed! Katie is a graduate of Wright State University who danced her way to the Top 10 in Mansfield with all three of her local titles. This summer she was a Talent winner and you voted her the supposed 6th place contestant in the "Nixt Out" Missy Award. In 2009 she was a Swimsuit winner as Miss Miami Valley; her first title was Miss Portsmouth 2008. Best of luck to Katie in her future endeavors!
