Hello Friends!

I must admit, I am VERY excited to be posting for the first time on my own blog! I decided recently that the opportunities the internet provides far outweigh the misfortunes and I should try my hand at blogging. This realization coincided perfectly with my newly accessorized head! On July 24th, I was crowned Miss Greater Cleveland 2010 and therefore have the honor of representing the Greater Cleveland area! In addition, this provides the opportunity for me to compete with other young, talented and intelligent women at Miss Ohio this upcoming June. In order to keep family, friends and supporters updated on my pageant and everyday life events I have created this blog to capture glimpses of my busy days.

So, now that all of that has been taken care of let's get down to business!

First and foremost I want to congratulate Cayla Hellwarth, Miss Lake Festival, my sister queen, Meggie Wittman, Miss Cuyahoga County, and the newly crowned Miss North Coast, Sarah Hider! I am so excited to be able to share the stage with these fabulous young women in June! Here are some pictures from the Miss North Coast Pageant that I attended yesterday evening:

Secondly, I wanted to share some pictures that were recently taken at one of my hometown hotspots, Kingwood Center. A family friend who likes to dabble in photography, my mom and I had a fun day goofing around and getting a few shots that I can hopefully use in the future. Here are some of my favorite images out of the 518 we snapped!

Some upcoming events I have scheduled are the Miss North Royalton Pageant, which Sylvia has informed me that more than 40 participants have signed up!, a Thistledown Horse Race, Training Camp with the Cleveland Browns, and a Catan's Fashion Show!

I am very excited for all the events and opportunities in store for me this year and I will do my best to keep everyone updated!

Best Wishes,

Ashley Warholic
