The Miss Ohio Line-up!

Today was a very long day, with the Miss Ohio Spring Forum and Outstanding Teen pageant… I’m so tired, I’m drifting in and out of a quasi-comatose state right now, but I’ll at least share the contestant order, as that’s the more important/interesting part of Spring Forum to most people.

(Miss Ohio Marlia Fontaine drew our [the contestants] names randomly out of a bowl. Once a name was drawn the contestant had one minute to consult with parents and directors about which flight and contestant number to select. So control and strategy in your placement hinged on the fate of when your name is drawn! The numbers after each talent type indicates when they were drawn, 1st to 24th.)
