Best of Luck to Miss Greater Cleveland / Cuyahoga County & Teen Pageant!

It seems like Miss Ohio was just yesterday, but it's already time to start crowning the class of 2011 - 2012!  The first local preliminary is tonight; Sylvia's Show, otherwise known as Miss Greater Cleveland & Miss Cuyahoga County, will be held at Al Koran Shriners Conference Center in Broadview Heights. 


The talented Marisa Buchheit, Miss Greater Cleveland (left) and stunning Jessica Nelson, Miss Cuyahoga County (right) will be giving up their titles!  Marisa was a Top 10 semifinalist during her second attempt at Miss Ohio.  Jessica, on the other hand, has had a whirl wind pageant experience, assuming her title only four short months ago.  Hopefully both of them return to the Miss Ohio stage next summer! 

Fourteen women are competing in the first local of the year.



I will hopefully add photos and more information later, for now an asterisk denotes the contestants who have previously competed at Miss Ohio.  This is the contestant order:
