Chelsea Ross, a sophomore at Bluffton High School, was recently invited to attend at expo/convention in Dallas, Texas. The event is for professional agents seeking modeling and acting talent.

Ross will attend the event as she has recently graduated from John Casablancas, Cincinnati. There she took classes in modeling, runway and acting.

She has been involved in several photo modeling shoots. She is currently welcoming local sponsorships to enable her to attend the expo in Dallas. She is also selling candy bars as a fund raiser.

"A sponsorship can be as minimal as $5," she said. Anyone interested in assisting her in this project may contact her at 419-358-0823. "I am always glad to answer any questions concerning the agency or trip," she said.
