The contestants arrived in Mansfield Friday morning and spent the evening at the Miss Ohio Festival!
From the context of other photos, this appeared to be a contest between Miss Lake Festival, Devon Stansbury and Miss Greater Butler, County Jane Covel determining the shortest contestant. Jane won! Another highlight Friday was the celebration of Miss Central Ohio, Sarah Hider's birthday.
Pass the baby!
Freelance supporter and photographer Timothy Russell and his wife Kara have a beautiful baby girl, Samantha. With so many cooing titleholders, it proved easier just to pass the baby down the autograph line! See those photos and others by Timothy from Fridays Festival HERE.
Additional Festival photos were taken by Daniel Melograna of the Mansfield News Journal:
The ladies also visited Grahm Chevrolet on Friday, who is the new Miss Ohio vehicle sponsor! View those photos HERE.

On Saturday morning the ladies had a fashion show at the Richland Mall and signed autographs.
The past couple years the fashion show outfits have caused some confusion, so I went direct to a reliable source to get the inside scoop... Each contestant was assigned a specific store; once at the store they could select their outfit from specific designs set aside for the fashion show. The contestants in college gear were sponsored by a store called Buckeye Bills and obviously the construction gear [modeled below by Miss Mohican Valley, Jenna Fowls] came from a store of that specialty.

Also, view photos taken by Jon Cole (I believe) HERE. They're separated by contestant, not event.
Sylvia Jensen is the cutest thing! I miss doing her "show."
ReplyDeleteHaha... Don't worry Amy, if you ever see Sylvia again, she will most definitely ask you to apply for it! :)
