Delaware Dairy Princess Contest – March 25, 2017
It is that time of year to select our new Delaware Dairy Princess. This years contest will be held on Saturday, March 25th in Harrington, Delaware. The contest will start with interviews at Harrington Fire House around mid-morning. (The time will be decided once we know how many contestants are running!) After the interviews are held, contestants will be asked to present their skits and answer an impromptu question decided by the judges. While the judges are choosing the best candidate, the Delaware Holstein Association will be holding their annual meeting. Lunch will be served. We are so excited to partner with the Holstein Association this year.
Please contact, Laura Emerson Greer, if you or anyone you know would be interested in running to promote one of Delaware’s finest industry. We will be holding an interest meeting the first weekend in March. Please let me know if you or someone you know will be attending. You can reach her by email at lauraleegreer@gmail.com or by phone (302)-893-7258.
