Minnesota Princess Kay of the Milky Way
Princess Kay of the Milky Way serves as the goodwill ambassador for Minnesota’s dairy farmers. She is selected through a three-phase process.
First, candidates must be a county dairy princess. County dairy princess contests happen from January to April. In May, all the county dairy princesses come together for a leadership event and have the opportunity to compete to be a finalist. Ten young women are then selected to continue moving forward with the competition.
In August, prior to the Minnesota State Fair, another competition occurs between the ten women, and the winner is announced the Wednesday night prior to the Minnesota State Fair. Princess Kay of the Milky way will then spend the next year representing Minnesota’s dairy farmers to consumers.
