Bradford Dairy Princess Crown
CAROLYN N. MOYER
Bradford Co. Correspondent
EAST SMITHFIELD (Brad
ford Co.) “I’m totally
shocked,” said Jani Burke,
daughter of Gary and Edith Burke,
of Sugar Run, after being crowned
Bradford County’s new Dairy
Princess. “The competition was
really good this year.”
Indeed, Ms. Burke was not the
only one to feel that the competi
tion was tough. Judges Charles
Ruslavage, retired health and
physical education teacher from
Clarion University, Tonya Martin,
1991 Pa. First Alternate Dairy
Princess, and Stephanie Myers,
New York Dairy Princess coordi
nator, had the arduous task of
selecting the new dairy princess
and her court from a field of live
talented contestants.
Chosen as the first alternate was
Kirsten Macßride, daughter of
Robert and Deborah Macßride, of
Troy, while Danielle Pepper,
daughter of Edward and Pamela
Pepper, of Canton, will wear the
second alternate banner.
Other contestants in the pageant
were Carrie Green, daughter of
Randy Greene of Canton and Nan
cy Greene also fo Canton, and
Ellen Keeney, daughter of Wil
liam and Bonnie Kenney of
Wyalusing.
As part of the pageant held at
the SRU Middle School in East
Smithfleld, Saturday, June 4, each
contestant had to present a skit and
answer an impromptu question.
Ms. Burke inspired the crowd
as she whipped the mbmers of her
“cream team” into shape. “Wel
come to the Bradford County
“Cream Team Training Camp.
I’m your coach, Milk Daily, and
I’m here to coach you to a gold
medal. Being chosen for this team
is a great honor and you should be
proud to represent your county.”
She condtinued to give her team
the facts that they would need to
work hard to promote their spon
sor, “Real”.
Ms. Macßride carried the audi
ence back in time tot he days of
the knights in shining armor as she
told the story of the Knights of the
Butterchum as they reigned vic
torious in the king’s dairy tourna
ment, because they drank plenty
of milk.
Posing as “Nellie, the singing
cow,” Ms. Pepoer said, “I teach
people just like you, the important
facts about dairy products, things
like, June is dairy monthy and
things with the real sealon them
contain vitamins like A and D and

calciumand riboflavin and many
more minerals.” She then
reminded the crowd to “Take a
little drink for a healthy body and
a pearly yvhite smile.”
Carrie Greene made the transi
tion from a non-milk drinking
teenager who knew nothing about
dairy products, to one who drank
plenty of milk after learning more
about it while completing a school
project.
In her skit, Ms. Keeney told the
audience where milk comes from
and how it reaches the consumer
using cut-out pictures. She
reminded people of all the dairy
products and about looking for the
real seal.
Each contestant was also asked
to respond to the judges’ question,
“Most of the non-dairy public
looks at a dairy princess as a beau
ty contest winner. What can you
do to chai this imr ?”
Answers centered around the
work that each contestant must do
to prepare for the pageant and the
knowledge of the industry that
each girl must posses.
Ms. Burke received her crown
from outgoing Bradford County
Dairy Princess Amy Vanßlarcom.
“Thank you to everyone here this
evening, for the support of the
dairy industry and your support
for me. Before this evening began,
Stu Rosengrant asked me if I
would need a roll of paper towels.
I told him, ‘No, I can handle it. I
survived the year as dairy prin
cess.” Well,” said a tearful Ms.
Vanßlarcom, “I guess I proved
myself wrong.”
Following up on last year’s per
formance, Ms. Vanßlarcom
reminded the crowd of her belief,
“If you believe it, and conceive it,
then you can achieve it.” I believe
