NEW DAIRY PRINCESS CROWNED

Tristan Rowell of Lemoore Selected as District 7 Dairy Princess

TRACY, Calif. – July 3, 2017 – Tristan Rowell of Lemoore was selected as the 2017 Dairy

Princess for the California Milk Advisory Board’s (CMAB) District 7. Jolene Simas of Lemoore

was selected as the 2017 Alternate Dairy Princess. The coronation took place before a crowd of

approximately 400 dairy industry members, their families and friends, on Friday, June 30, 2017,

at the Hanford Civic Auditorium in Hanford.

Retiring Dairy Princess Ashley Avila and Alternate Dairy Princess Brigit Simas ended their

reigns by relinquishing their titles to Tristan and Jolene, and wished them well as the ladies

represent the California dairy industry throughout the coming year.

Tristan will represent District 7, which includes Kings County. As Dairy Princess, she will play

an important role on the CMAB’s Communications Services team in meeting community

relations objectives.

Tristan is the daughter of Butch Rowell and Tricia Soares of Lemoore. She is a recent graduate

of Lemoore High School and plans to attend West Hills Junior College in the fall, with the goal

to become an agriculture teacher. Tristan was a member of Lemoore FFA, participated on the

dairy judging team and raised a replacement heifer for the 2017 Kings County Fair. She was also

a four-year member of Lemoore High School cheer team and held a 4.0 GPA.
