Many proclaimed her a breath of fresh air and she was certainly the fresh face of the pageant. Alissa has past pageant experience in other programs, but it was still impressive that she earned a Preliminary Swimsuit award and went straight to First Runner-up at her first try for the Miss Ohio crown! Tonight she has opted to compete instead of play the role of outgoing titleholder; if she is one of the top two scores after the final ballot, she will be crowned Miss Montgomery County. Best of luck to all the contestants; they are (in no particular order): </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Mahogany Fleming</div><div

&nbsp;I am willing to bet that it was part of Ellen's Miss Ohio paperwork (perhaps her answer to the legacy question?); <i>if </i>it was, it&nbsp;certainly&nbsp;shows how she set herself apart and won an Interview Award! &nbsp;This event is SO SMART! &nbsp;She's raising money and awareness for CMNH, as well as getting those legs in shape for Miss America and hopefully garnering some major media exposure! &nbsp;Seriously, has anyone called <i>Good Morning America</i> yet?!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ellen's newsletter says "The road will get lonely without some company - so hop on your bike and ride with me for a day or two." &nbsp;<b>I think every local contestant and titleholder, I repeat, EVERY LOCAL TITLEHOLDER should join her, and <i>yes</i>, add it to your pageant resume!</b> &nbsp;I'm not a fan of the CMNH donations required to compete, but biking with Miss Ohio will make it easier and even fun. &nbsp;Ask people to donate per mile. &nbsp;Also, be sure to call your local newspaper, radio stations and TV channels; get some coverage for yourself, for Miss Ohio and of course, for CMNH!&nbsp;</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4B1lspI-1XQ/TioSCg6l0eI/AAAAAAAAN1U/ONTR5c7XGDU/s1600/jpeg+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4B1lspI-1XQ/TioSCg6l0eI/AAAAAAAAN1U/ONTR5c7XGDU/s400/jpeg+%25281%2529.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-devMa6zlO3A/TioSHeQJM3I/AAAAAAAAN1Y/mS3CHRnknfA/s1600/jpeg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-devMa6zlO3A/TioSHeQJM3I/AAAAAAAAN1Y/mS3CHRnknfA/s400/jpeg.jpg" width="307" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nn0YJAaNEqc/TioSOAnVwbI/AAAAAAAAN1g/WuuYXr3nfOE/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nn0YJAaNEqc/TioSOAnVwbI/AAAAAAAAN1g/WuuYXr3nfOE/s320/1.jpg" width="246" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WFInBS4q3lc/TioSOzR419I/AAAAAAAAN1k/Z0RgJmbsM3s/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WFInBS4q3lc/TioSOzR419I/AAAAAAAAN1k/Z0RgJmbsM3s/s400/2.jpg" width="307" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gRjQ4Fw_91Y/TioSPQwWQnI/AAAAAAAAN1o/prRL_TaBYRE/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gRjQ4Fw_91Y/TioSPQwWQnI/AAAAAAAAN1o/prRL_TaBYRE/s400/3.jpg" width="307" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PhTwa2SqN24/TioSNpxorzI/AAAAAAAAN1c/XyPSfNUed2o/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PhTwa2SqN24/TioSNpxorzI/AAAAAAAAN1c/XyPSfNUed2o/s400/4.jpg" width="307" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Great job Ellen!
