Ms. Ohio Modern Woman AmeriFest

Yesterday I got to go support my friends at the Radiance World pageant at the Cherry Valley Hotel in Newark, Ohio. Arianne Davis was handing down her title and Kris Scherer was competing. I’m so happy I got to be there with you both. I can not leave out the amazing director, Rondalyn Morrow. You did such an amazing job!

I got to go to the Pleasant Booster Car Show today with Wilson Rhonda and Tiffney Shepherd. There were some really cool cars and a couple food trucks in case we got hungry. We even met Christy Neff! She is running for Marion County Commissioner! It was chilly but a great time. Thank you Joe Harrison for taking pictures for us!

I went to cheer on Joe Harrison as he bowled at the Inner City Tournament at Sequoia Pro Bowl in Columbus, Ohio. They have a shop where you can buy a new ball and get it drilled as well as amazing concessions. The Italian sub was delicious! I had it 2 days in a row. lol
These 2 ladies checked out my sash and looked us up. Never know we may have two new competitors next year. We aren’t sure who’s gonna win yet but these are the people who bowl with us Friday night at Coopers-bowl in Marion.

On April 18th, my husband and I had the pleasure of judging the Jackson County Fair Queens and court pageant again this year. It was a great time starting with interviewing the young ladies in the morning and finishing with on stage questions and evening gown. The lady really put in the work. Everyone did an amazing job. Thank you for letting me get some photos with you all!

What an amazing month I’ve had so far as your new Ms. Ohio Modern Woman AmeriFest. I was crowned on April 12th in Columbus, Ohio. Let me tell you Carrie Layne puts on a great pageant. I am honored to represent the AmeriFest system for the 3rd year in a row!!! Thank you to all the wonderful sponsors! (Regal Runway, Gowntastic, Cook Studio, and a few others I know I’m forgetting)
We had a beach themed opening number as well as Queens in Jeans party 🥳 it was so much fun!!!
