After a day filled with milking
contests, ice cream eating, and
pageantry. Eileen Murphy was
picked to wear the crown and hold
the title of the 1997 Bradford
County Dairy Princess.
Murphy is the daughter of Mal
colm and Sylvia Murphy of Ul
ster. Although Holsteins are the
breed of choice on her family’s
farm, Murphy opts to show
Jerseys through 4-H.
Chosen as first alternate was
Kimberly Davis, of Warren Cen
ter, daughter of Ron and Sally
Davis. Their 2SO-acre farm is
home to 120 Holsteins.
Rindy Harkness of Gillett will
serve as second alternate. She is
the daughter of Butch and Barbara
Harkness. The family has 70 head
of Jerseys on their 460-acre farm.
“Bradford County can be proud
of their royalty,” said the letter
bom the judges just before the
names were announced, alluding
to the full day of activities leading
up to the Saturday evening
pageant
All activities were held in the
Wyalusing area, with the 34th an
nual pageant being held at the
Wyalusing High School.

member of the New York Dairy
Promotion Committee,, Rebecca
Sonnen, program director for
Middle Atlantic Milk Marketing
Association, and Tammy Weaver,
Pennsylvania Beef Council rep
resentative, also noted that every
one should work together as a
team to promote dairy products
throughout the coming year.
Rounding out the dairy promo
tion team are seven dairy maids:
Corissa Coolbaugh, Talitha Cool
baugh, Tara Gray, Kristy How
land, Jackie Schriner, Janean
Young, and Heather Yutkanin.
The day started with a parade,
which was immediately followed
by milking contests, ice cream eat
ing contests, and a chance to visit
with various sponsors of the day.
As the evening program began,
each contestant was required to
give a five-minute presentation
and answer an impromptu
question.
“O the milk will come out
tomorrow,” sang a cow-print pa
jamas-clad Murphy as she high
lighted the benefits of milk and
dreamed about having another
glass of milk to drink.
Next the team was called into
action as Rindy Harkness
explained that everybody in the
world needs milk.
“The use of milk goes back to
the domestication of animals,
probably about 10,000 years ago,”
Harkness noted.
Finally, it was Kimberly Da
vis’s turn to hit the stage as she
posed as “Millie the cow.” My
product is the very best,” she said,
as she told about where milk com
es from and how it is processed.
The final moment of truth came
as Master of Ceremonies Senator
Roger Madigan read the final
question, “Throughout your child
hood, you probably received
much advice from your older sib
lings. In this day and age, young
people face many challenges.
What advice would you give to a
younger sibling?”
Murphy noted that she is the
youngest and has received much
good advice from her two older
sisters.
“I would tell them to always to
look at the positives in life even
when things are at their worst.
And I would tell them definitely to
drink milk . . Murphy ex
plained.
Harkness answered that she
would tell them to “do as many
leadership activities as they can to
become involved and become
good citizens, and to stay away
from all the bad things that are out
there such as drugs.”
