Ms. Ohio Woman AmeriFest

Today my heart is full. ❤️

Thanks to the generosity of my amazing sponsors and the support of From Rosemary With Love, with the extra funds we were able to purchase 15 brand-new pairs of shoes to donate to our church clothing pantry.

Something as simple as a new pair of shoes can provide comfort, confidence, and a reminder that someone cares.

Thank you for helping us make a difference—one step at a time. 👟❤️

It’s International Friend Day! Here are some of my friends that I have met through AmeriFest !

Congratulations to our winners!!!

Fair Food, family and Sea lions, oh my!

What a beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Had the pleasure of meeting the 2026 Clark County Fair Queen Kaylee Smith.

Happy birthday sweet girl

I had such an incredible weekend at AmeriFest Nationals but this time as a contestant. I am coming home as AmeriFest Woman and AmeriFest Duchess.

It was an honor to represent Carrie Layne and team as Ms Ohio Woman.

I’m blessed to have the support of my husband and children. I couldn’t have done it without them. Love you Cameron Olivia and CJ

Big thanks to my sponsors and donors for getting me there, I didn’t come home with the Grand Supreme but I came home with confidence in myself and pushing myself out of my comfort zone and for that I am thankful.

Shout out to Catalina Alvarez with Glam Genies for making me look beautiful. A word I would never use to describe myself before this weekend.

Krystin and Sandy Vivi's for dressing me in the most beautiful Jovani gown. I love you both so much

Evening Gown ✅
Crowning is in a few hours.

I left it all on stage.

I hope I did you proud Ohio ❤️🩶

Good Morning! Today is the day I’ve been preparing for since winning my title in April.

Evening gown and Crowning!

I am so thankful for the support I have received from so many of you. It truly means so much to me.

Thank you to my sponsors and all that donated without you this weekend wouldn’t have been possible.

Thank you to my husband and children for your support and patience. I am so blessed to have you all.

And thank you to my Savior Jesus Christ for the opportunity to share my story and platform with a national audience.

Almost one year of walking in faith and surrendering to Him, and the blessings continue to come.

Proud to represent my Great State of Ohio

I am Heidi Russell ❤️

Interview done! Evening Gown and crowning tomorrow! So thankful for this opportunity!
