Hi Everyone!
Wow! August has been such a crazy month! After the Miss North Coast Pageant and Bowling for Books I made my way to the Miss North Royalton Pageant! My directors, Sylvia and Harvey Jensen, put on the North Royalton Pageant for children and young adults in the North Royalton area. Seeing young faces answer tricky questions with ease and walk gracefully around the stage was such a fantastic opportunity. All of the participants really did an awesome job and the crowns could have gone to any of the contestants!! I got to perform on stage during the pageant and it felt great to get back on pointe. The experience was truly enjoyable and I hope to be back next year to see how the young ladies and men progress. Continuing on my Miss Greater Cleveland adventure I attended Browns Training Camp to support one of my all-time favorite sports teams. I had a blast in Berea (right down the street from my college campus!) watching the team scrimmage each other and practice. I cannot imagine doing what they do in that heat!! HOLY TOLEDO! Afterwards a few of the players came over to take pictures and sign autographs, sadly it was not Brady Quinn, but I was really excited to see just about anyone! I have included some of the pictures from that day!
In addition to all of these special events I moved back into school and am starting my Junior year at Baldwin-Wallace College. I am excited to be back at my second home and in part of the area I represent as Miss Greater Cleveland. I am not only looking forward to working with some of the youth in the area to promote leadership and education but am also thrilled to be raising funds for the Children's Miracle Network!

Adam Hoppel!
About a week later Sylvia invited me to go to the Thistledown Horse Track to see the 42nd Annual Miss Ohio Stakes horse race! I had a great time watching the horses, meeting the public and jockeys, and interviewing on-air with the announcer. It was a really unique opportunity that I am so fortunate to have! Here again are some pictures from the day!
