Aimee Stickel, 17, Teays Valley High junior - Aimee is the daughter of Terry and Sheila Stickel of Lockbourne

She is a varsity football and competition cheerleader, a Teen Institute member. She has attended New Life Church in Circleville. She is a member of Destination Imagination and was on the newspaper staff.

She plans to attend Ohio Wesleyan or Ohio University, and studying either, psychology or engineering.

If she could invite anyone to the Pumpkin Show, she would invite my cousin, Jonathon Stickel. He is in the Marines and has not been home in a very long time. He is also getting ready to head to Iraq to fight the war on terrorism. She would want him to come so he could clear his mind, at least for a little bit, to just enjoy himself and have some fun.

Her favorite Pumpkin Show memory is when she stood, where she’s about to stand once again, and competed for the Little Miss Pumpkin Show title. Although she did not win, she came in as second runner-up. She’ll never forget that experience.
