STATE COMPETITION

The 69th annual Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Competition was held on Saturday September 20, 2025. Each county princess was individually interviewed and participated in other informal meetings with the judges. They each presented their dairy skit presentations, speeches and poster display, tested on their dairy promotion knowledge and submitted three dairy recipes. In addition, some participated in the radio spot and scrapbooks contests. Below are pictures of the winners, runner-ups and honorable mentions from the contests.
