By Jen Jones

“ The whole community has been so supportive of me , and I want to bring a mini-Miss America contest to Coshocton so everyone can be part of it ,” Miller said .
Miller said she ’ s grateful to the community , which has supported her and her dream over the last several years . “ I just know I couldn ’ t have done this without Coshocton ’ s support ,” she said .
The send-off celebration will be emceed by 2018 Miss Ohio Matti-Lynn Chrisman . “ She ’ s the one who inspired me to be Miss Ohio . I was sitting at the Coshocton bowling alley and saw her Instagram post . I told my mom I was going to be Miss Ohio someday , and she said , ‘ Sure you are .’ That made me want it even more ,” Miller said .
The Coshocton Honor Guard will open the celebration . “ They have such a special place in my heart ,” Miller said .
The first hour of the send-off will be a huge production . “ All of my runners-up will be performing and so will Miss Jennifer ’ s Dance Studio . They will keep everyone entertained while I change outfits ,” Miller said .
Miller will model every outfit she will wear at the Miss America contest in January .
“ This will be like a dry run for me . There will be a practice onstage Q-and-A session ,” Miller said . “ I ’ ll be performing my talent , wearing my evening gown and will be modeling fitness wear as the fitness part of the competition . I want everyone to feel like they are actually seeing the competition .”
Those who attend the send-off celebration will be the first ones to see her wardrobe and her talent . No photos or videos will be allowed during the production part of the send-off celebration . However , the last hour or so will be dedicated to casual time , and everyone will have a chance to meet Miller and have a picture taken with her .
Miss Ohio merchandise is available to order . Miller is asking anyone who purchases a T-shirt to dazzle it up and wear it when she competes .
“ I ’ m pushing for red , white and blue and please send us the pictures of your shirts . At the Miss America competition , Ohio has everyone together one day , and they bedazzle shirts to wear . I know so many people want to be there with me , but it ’ s so expensive . This would be a small way
