Miss New Hampshire Still Reigns Supreme

Samantha Russo of Nashua didn't get the Miss America crown, but she did us proud on national TV Sunday night.

Although the Miss America judges didn't get it quite right last night during the televised Miss America pageant, our Miss New Hampshire Samantha Russo, returns to the Granite State as much a winner in our eyes as any of the other contestants.

Winner was Miss New York, Nina Davuluri

Early on Russo dazzled the judges with her vocal talent, winning the preliminary competition, and appeared to have a blast showing off her baseball shoes during the "Show Us Your Shoes" parade on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, NJ.
