Congratulations to the New Miss Greater Cleveland, Elyse Healey!

Saturday night Elyse Healey, the recent Third Runner-up to Miss Ohio as Miss Stark County 2005, seized her first possible opportunity to head back to Miss Ohio. She was crowned Miss Greater Cleveland 2006. Elyse is a Pre-Law student at Youngstown State and works with physically and mentally challenged individuals as her platform. For talent, she sang “I Don Quixote” from the musical Man of La Mancha. Elyse is a fellow blogger; you can keep up with her at The Road to Miss Ohio and view her Webshots album of Miss Greater Cleveland by clicking here.
