Miss Vacationland Seeking Contestants

I LOVE that there is a former Miss Ohio/Miss AMERICA running a local pageant this year!!! Why is there not more buzz about this? I don't really know! However, they are doing an excellent job leveraging social media and traditional media to recruit contestants. See the blurb below and visit their website, facebook, or twitter account for more information. I can't wait to see the final outcome!


Miss America 1963 Jacquelyn Mayer is looking for a new Miss Vacationland. I love these pictures from the Miss Vacationland website of Jacquelyn as Miss Vacationland, Miss Ohio 1962, and Miss America 1963!

Women ages 17 to 24 are invited to compete on November 28, 2009.

The pageant will be at 7:30 p.m. at Port Clinton Playmakers Civic Theatre.

The winner will receive a minimum scholarship of $1,500 and will compete for the title of Miss Ohio 2010.

For an application, visit http://www.missvacationland.org/ or http://www.missohio.org/ for official rules and regulations. For tickets, call Joan at (419) 684-7896.

Beauty is as Beauty DOES

Tara Wheeler, Miss Virginia 2008, partnered with St. Baldrick's Foundation to raise $500,000 after being personally touched by children across her state that have suffered from cancer. Tara didn't even reach her personal goal, but still shaved her head! What a wonderful role model. Tara has managed to get national media attention for this wonderful cause and she is still carrying out her platform months after giving up her crown. Interesting fact: Her mom shaved her head! Today I'd like to give the much deserved recognition to Tara Wheeler, Miss Virginia 2008. I am thankful for the little time I did compete in PA because I met some of the most amazing young women that are making a difference today. I first met Tara in 2005 at a Pittsburgh local when she was giving up her crown - and am amazed by her accomplishments.
"Jessi doesn't know she lost her hair from chemo... she thinks it's her new hairstyle and she thinks she looks awesome. I told her I saw a picture and thought she looked so pretty and I just had to get my hair done the same way!"-Tara Wheeler

Congrats to the Miss Clayland Program

Congratulations to the newly crowned Miss Clayland,

Heather Waterman!

Clayland has always been one of the leading scholarship providers in the Miss Ohio system - Heather walked away with $2,130 in scholarship dollars to go towards her education. In addition to winning the title, Heather won both talent and interview awards.
Luck would have it that this is Heather's 3rd local title and the 3rd time that Erica has crowned her in a row! Also - Martha's titleholders have been crowned Miss Ohio for two consecutive years in a row now...Heather, I'd keep Erica very close by in June! =)

Congrats Miss Portsmouth 2010

I had the pleasure of attending and assisting with the Miss Portsmouth/Miss Scioto Valley Scholarship Program over the weekend.

Congrats to the new Miss Portsmouth, Anna Reis on her first trip to Miss Ohio! Anna is a clogger with experience in prior teen pageants and a connection to fellow VA competitor, Laura. She is extremely determined and will be a force to be reckoned with.

A big congrats to the teen winners who amazed me throughout the day of competition. Abby has more pics/results.

If you were in the competition last weekend, and would like feedback, leave your email address on this post!
