Thirteen young women will battle for the title of Miss Northwestern Ohio in the pageant scholarship, scheduled for Saturday at the Defiance Community Auditorium.
Included in the pageant are three contestants from our local area: Nicole Baringer of Defiance, Dominique Tonneas of Hicksville and Miranda Miller, of Napoleon.
The scholarship pageant is offering $2,700 to the top winners and a chance for the woman elected Miss Northwestern Ohio to compete in the Miss Ohio Pageant next year and then possibly on to the Miss America pageant later in the year.
