Miss Ohio

Allie LaForce

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
The craziest thing I have ever done was sitting on the top of our boat, tied to the bow in a big yellow poncho, coming home from a Cleveland Browns Football Game in 12-foot swells in the midst of a giant thunderstorm. It was so crazy that no one could see what was ahead of us so I had to be the lookout while praying for my life.

What are your strongest talents?
My strongest talents include my work ethic, people skills, and my competitive edge.

Name one person, family, friend, celebrity, who has had the most influence on your life.
Connie Rummell. Connie is my aunt who has lived with my family and me since I was born. We have a relationship that is impossible to describe with words. She is one who loves to teach and give to others and is one of the most unselfish people I know. She has taught me everything from respect and trust to perfecting my basketball shot, and boy is she good at that! She is a varsity basketball coach who took her team to the elite eight and knows the difference between cocky confidence and just being too cocky which keeps me grounded. We have a special bond that will never be broken and that we'll always know is there.

What else do you want the judges to know about you?
