Rachel Werling and Madelanah McFarland will easily win a local if they chose to return, otherwise, local winners will be newbies. Virtual titleholders will fill the rest of the roster.

[> Subject: Diamond aged out now. I’ve heard Desi, Emily F and Madelanah aren’t coming back. One of the sweeps girls got married I believe and most of the sweeps girls didn’t have a great experience last year because they had no EDs and the “mentors” really didn’t do anything to help them even know what to bring.

[> Subject: Such a sad state of affairs. Are we confident the other locals are happening? Usually Cleveland has been advertised for months by now, and Portsmouth has been tentative for the last 2 years. Looking at even less this year, even if the same number of virtual titles are given, now that we are minus Akron/Canton… Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:59:31 11/11/22 Fri [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Oxford/Tallawanda is gone this year too. Last year GC announced right after Christmas but as of now both GC and Portsmouth are tbd. I don’t think Portsmouth will do Southern again. I think Charmae and Regina hold out as long as possible Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:33:10 11/11/22 Fri [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: SO and board need to modernize the girls’ experience. No camp. If you want them to bond make forum an overnight at the hotel. No host families. Stay at the Holiday Inn. They aren’t even background checked. All they do is gossip to and about the girls. Adult women also do not need chaperones if they stay at the hotel and aren’t in something like the parade It’s very strange how they are treated like children at sleep away camp. Also can we move the whole thing out of opioid city? It’s not even safe in the parking lot of the Renaissance Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:05:42 11/11/22 Fri [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Agree all the way around, with #1- get out of Mansfield. The hotel is no longer a Holiday Inn but privately owned 'Park Conference'. Go look at recent Google reviews: "Ants, ants, ants!; hotel in disrepair; rooms not ready for check in & no timely housekeeping; no management on site; management is uncaring and trust us, if you need even towels, a trash bag, a light changed that flickered, ant spray, toilet paper, a working shower drain, good luck!; it says that it has a banquet breakfast & room service- it had neither; will only clean your room every 5 days; staff hung up on me when I asked about a $100 difference in 2 identical rooms; staff is really rude; no restaurant in the hotel; pool closed; no hot water; dirty rooms; stains on carpet; greasy food; transients in the lobby, outside, in parking lots, some staying in rooms; they told us not to walk at night; complained about my stay to BBB & got return mail Park Conf had closed! Author: The rooms are only $70, which says everything. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:25:15 11/12/22 Sat [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Using host homes where all household members are not background checked is unacceptable. That's a HUGE liability; they're asking for trouble. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:33:34 11/12/22 Sat [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Host homes have been used for at least 40 years. I don't recall a problem over these years. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:50:22 11/18/22 Fri [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: So because there hasn’t been a problem in the past they shouldn’t have to do the minimum to keep the candidates safe? That’s flawed logic. Not to mention if something happened to one of the ladies in a host home it would forever scar both her and the program (and the program is already in the toilet) Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:27:00 11/21/22 Mon [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Agree. But I think it stems much deeper than location and modernization…MOSP has nothing to offer…anyone. Not the community that used to line the streets for the parade, nor contestants. They make no efforts to raise funds or awareness. Period. There is zero appeal. Other states pack ‘em in…with a show, things they WANT to buy and participate in, and a reason to really attend and compete. It’s so very sad… Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:37:56 11/15/22 Tue [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
