My first ever appeal for votes...Miss America related

A very sweet and beautiful girl from my very small rural hometown has been crowned Miss Kentucky and is going to compete in the Miss America pageant in September. So, I realize I'm a bit biased, but this young woman is truly special. She recently graduated with honors from the University of Kentucky with a degree in special education. She is a very accomplished collegiate swimmer, very active in many community outreach programs, a very talented fiddler, and just an all around genuinely great person. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a few years ago and is very active in the MS community and plans to make awareness of MS her platform. Her grandparents attend my church and she is very close to them and visits church with them regularly usually blessing us with a performance on her fiddle.

The Miss America pageant has opened up voting on their website. A video of each contestant is posted and then there is an option to vote. This young lady's name is Ramsey Carpenter (Miss Kentucky) and I know she would appreciate your vote. Here is a link: www.missamerica.org/vote.

Thanks!!!!
