American Dairy Princess
This
pageant was held by the American Dairy Association for 18 years (1955 to
1972). Each year's winner traveled all over the U.S.A. promoting milk and
milk products as a full time employee of the American Dairy Association.
Judging of the girls was based on their personalities, poise and character.
Most of the pageants were held in Chicago, but four were held in Arizona,
Florida, Louisiana & Massachusetts.
The winner and a runner-up was announced, though in 1964 and 1971 there was
a Top 3. |
