STATE ROYALTY
Each year, PDPPS chooses three county princesses to be the new state royalty team at the annual state princess pageant. The princesses are judged on public speaking, dairy industry knowledge, poise and personality. Each princess prepared a speech, presentation, radio spot and poster display promoting milk and dairy foods; submitted a scrapbook of promotion activities; took a dairy promotion knowledge test; submitted a dairy food recipe and participated in an interview with a panel of three judges.
A state dairy princess and two alternates are chosen each year.
