In her winning presentation Myers came on stage with a small doll named Clover the Cow and she herself was dressed as a veterinarian. Clover, said Myers, had run into an electric fence and Myers as the veterinarian had to check her for injuries. As she checked out Clover, Myers discussed the products that come from milk and the various health benefits that come from them. In her presentation. Deitch came on the stage dressed as an old-time newsboy. She shouted “Extra! Extra!” and then talked about the big news of the day, which was the value of milk and especially its nutritional benefits. After winning the contest, Myers received the crown as dairy princess from the 1992 princess, Heidi Negley.

The Myers family milks 40 cows at present and is raising 25 heifers. In addition to working on the family farm, Myers is a 4-H sew ing group leader. Myers is a 1993 Boiling Springs High School graduate. This fall she will attend the York campus of Penn State University where she will study in the field of agricultural science. .
