Miss Montgomery County was crowned 2014 Miss Ohio on Saturday at the Renaissance Theatre in Mansfield.
Mackenzie Bart, 22, of Columbus, is a senior at Ohio State University who said she hopes to become a meteorologist.
Bart's platform is "Universal Newborn Screening: Saving Babies' Lives, One Heel Prick at a Time."
Crown in hand, Bart will next travel to the Miss America program to compete with other contestants for the title of Miss America.
Her talent? She's a ventriloquist. She sang "Supercalifragilsticexpialidocious" from "Mary Poppins" with her puppet Roxy.
