If the official photographer and the Mansfield News Journal haven't provided you with enough competition photos of Miss Ohio 2006, check out those taken by my boyfriend, Loren. He was sweet enough to shoot every contestant in every preliminary phase, with the exception of Onstage Question. I have uploaded both the originals and a version in which distractions are cropped out. These photos comprise two Webshots albums and also include some productions number shots and several of the final awards and Melanie's crowning.
I have to brag, I think some of Loren's shots are much better than those of the newspaper; as you look at the sneak previews, can you believe they were taken from the middle of the audience?!?
With this Blog, I offer a glimpse into the process and goals of being a pageant contestant… Specifically, Being Miss Maumee Valley. I also take pride in providing a positive place to keep up with the Ohio pageant scene. Enjoy, feel free to ask questions and please leave comments!
Greetings! I am Abby Bollenbacher, Maumee Valley 2005. This past June I competed in the Miss Ohio Scholarship Pageant where I was a Top 10 Semifinalist. Miss Maumee Valley is my fifth title (meaning I’ve previously competed at Miss Ohio four times) and my last, due to age limits. When I give up my title in November I will no longer be eligible to compete in the Miss America system, but I plan to remain an active volunteer in anyway I can because I believe in the value of this organization. In six years of competing I matured tremendously as well as earning nearly thirteen thousand dollars to fund my education!
In May I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Communications degree, specializing in Theatre. My higher education career was turbulent and for that reason I advocate ways to improve this phase of life for others as my pageant platform. I have earned three National Championships in Forensics (speech, debate & competitive performance) and am available to speak on either my platform, or an array of other topics. I am also an accomplished vocalist; I also enjoy being an emcee and entertainer. Contact me for an appearance today at missmaumeevalley@yahoo.com.
