During the pageant Amanda
presented a speech on the Three
a-Day program that is sponsored
by Dairy Promotion. She stressed
the importance of dairy products
in everyone’s daily nutrition.
The contestants also presented
dairy related skits. Amanda por
trayed a radio talk show host
who answered a variety of milk
related questions from, the Tooth
Fairy, Santa Clause, and the
Grim Reaper.
She finished the competition
with an impromptu question,
“How would you get more teen
agers to drink milk in school?”
Amanda was certain that having
ice cold milk in easy to handle
containers would make a big dif
ference.
Erica will be representing the
county as the Alternate Dairy
Princess for 2003-2004. Erica is
16 and will be a junior this fall at
West Perry High School.

During the skit portion of the
competition, Erica invited a few
of her childhood friends for a
“tea” party with milk. A doll and
several stuffed animals were in
attendance as she served up the
