Ann Miron, a 19-year-old college student from Hugo, was named Princess Kay of the Milky Way on Tuesday at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

As Princess Kay, Miron, who represents Washington County, will serve as the official goodwill ambassador for Minnesota's 5,000 dairy farmers. She is a student at the University of Minnesota majoring in agricultural education.

Twelve county dairy princesses competed for the Princess Kay title. Londa Johnson, of La Crescent, representing Houston County, and Jill Warren, of Watkins, representing Meeker County, were selected as runners-up.

One of Miron's first duties as Princess Kay will be to sit in a rotating cooler for nearly eight hours today so that her likeness can be carved in a 90-pound block of butter.

Princess Kay candidates are judged on their general knowledge of the dairy industry, communication skills, personality and enthusiasm for dairy promotion. The Midwest Dairy Association sponsors the Princess Kay program.
