Hold on to your seats, Ada.

Miss Minnesota, Rebecca Yeh, 20,  an Ohio Northern University student, won the $2,000 scholarship in the talent competition in the Miss America contest, held Thursday night in Atlantic City.

She performed a violin solo and is reported to have said, "I'm going to sleep with this,"  while holding her award after the competition.

Yeh, who wants to be a pharmacist, said she has no plans to pursue a career in music, but loves playing the violin for others. She began taking lessons at 4 years of age because she was trying to keep up with her older brother, she said.
