What a weekend! I had such a great time at the Miss Muskingum Valley pageant. It was unlike any other local. We arrived Thursday night and had rehearsal until....only God knows when, but nonetheless it was fun. Interviews were Friday morning and afternoon with preliminaries to follow that night. We were divided into two flights the vintage dames and the retro gals (The theme was 'Everything Old is New Again'). I was lucky enough to win preliminary swimsuit!!!

Great job to everyone! I really had a great weekend, plus I won tons of scholarship money thanks to the sponsors that donated to the MMV program I walked away with $1,600!!!!!! Stephanie is a great girl and it was so awesome to get to know her better. I'm so happy for you and I know you will do great on your first trip to Miss Ohio. Good luck we are all rooting for you!
