Congrats to the New Miss Lake Erie, Nanciann Strosnider!

Miss “Fancy-pants” Strosnider [left] snuck in under the radar, I had no idea she was even competing! (Nickname courtesy of former Miss Ohio, Marlia Fontaine.) Congratulations to Nanciann for capturing the title and Outstanding Talent Award! She is a Broadway vocalist who advocates The Arts. She was, of course, crowned by the outgoing Miss Lake Erie, Leslie Ondrey. Like Leslie, Nanciann has a strong track record on the Miss Ohio stage, having placed in the Top Five her first year and in the Top Ten this past July as Miss Portsmouth. Originally from the Cincinnati area, she is currently studying Musical Theatre and Broadcast Journalism at Elon University in North Carolina.

The First Runner-up was pageant veteran Jillian Dansko. Jillian is a Communications major at John Carroll University. She is a Tap Dancer who advocates Arts for the Disabled. Just like at Miss Ohio this past July, tonight Jillian also took home top honors in Swimsuit.

Alyssa Speicher was the Second Runner-up. She is a baton twirler who place First Runner-up last weekend in Maumee. She is studying Dentistry and Microbiology at Miami of Ohio.
