Tomorrow night at the Claymont High School in Ulrichville a new Miss Clayland will be crowned! Clayland is the longest running Miss Ohio local and is known for strong scholarships and positive titleholder support. This year Heather Waterman [right] had the honor of being Miss Clayland. She is a vocalist and graduate of Wright State University. I believe she may have aged-out after her third trip to Miss Ohio; does anyone know?
According to the Times Reporter, former Miss Clayland Allie Krucek will co-emcee the pageant, which begins at 7 p.m. The contestants are:

Most fans immediately think Ellen Bryan will take this crown, but there are five other ladies with experience and new contestants have surprised us at a couple other locals this season...! Who is your pick?
Why is there a Miss Cleveland Pageant? We want to compete, but it isn't always a possibility because of the distance.
ReplyDeleteI found that she graduated in 05 which would make her eighteen somewhere in 05. So in somewhere this year 2010 she should be 23 which would still make here eligible for the pageant yet???
ReplyDeleteShe's right on the cusp, which is why I'm not sure. It depends what her exact birth date is... The rules are a little confusing.

Alicia and Alyssa, thanks for the info! :)
ReplyDeleteLady Lady, I'm not sure I understand your question...
There is a Miss Greater Cleveland pageant, which took place in July, in Broadview Heights. Go to www.missohio.org and click on Local Preliminaries to see all the pageants in the Miss Ohio Scholarship system. They're spread across the state and throughout the year.
If you're not specifically interested in the Miss Ohio/Miss America system, there are many other opportunities and I'm certain they're not too hard to find in the Cleveland area.
