Several Louisville women  are competing for the  state crown and title in the  fifth annual Miss Kentucky & Ohio River Valley Plus America Pageant.  Five Louisville women will compete against women from other cities across Kentucky for the titles of Miss, Ms. or Mrs. Kentucky Plus America.  The successful queen will represent Kentucky at the National  Miss Plus America Pageant ,in July, in Atlanta Georgia. The Miss Plus America Pageant system is unlike the traditional  pageant concept. It celebrates the beauty of plus-size women, exclusively.   The physical and inner beauty of each contestant, is considered along with their commitment to their communities.

Each contestant will have the opportunity to  promote their  platforms.  Childhood Obesity is the platform for  Asia Ford, Ms. Southern Louisville Plus America.  Child Abuse is the platform for Trina Bonner, Miss Louisville Plus America.  Literacy and continuing education  is the platform for RaShann Martin, Miss West Louisville Plus America. Suicide Prevention is the platform for Sarah Wise, Mrs. Jefferson County Plus America. The platform for Rebecca Wilson, Ms. River City Plus America is Fibromyalgia .   Other women competing from other cities are  Mildred Veron, Ms. Madisonville Plus America whose  platform is Domestic Violence and  Kendra Boles, Mrs. Frankfort Plus America  is promoting  a project called Girls With Pearls, promoting self-esteem  in young girls.   Cynthia Elliott, Director for Miss Kentucky-Ohio River Valley Plus America Pageant says, ” All of these women are phenomenal and deserving of the crown. It will be a tough decision for the judges. This year,  a new  title of ” The Phenomenal Woman will be awarded to a contestant or non-contestant who has made a  significant difference in the lives of others.”  The pageant will be held on Saturday, May 23, 2015, at the Hilton Cincinnati Hotel, 7373 Turfway Road, Florence Kentucky at 7:00 pm.  This year’s pageant is combined with the Ohio Plus America pageant.
