Along with the excitement of naming a new dairy ambassador, the District 8 Dairy Princess Committee announced a new memorial scholarship in honor of Paul Rollin to Makenzie Coehlo and Siena Rollin. Paul Rollin was a dairy farmer from Riverdale who was a board member for CMAB and a supporter of the District 8 dairy princess program for many years. The Master of Ceremonies for the contest was Hal H. Bolen II of Fresno. Contestants were judged on poise, personality, speaking ability, education and dairy background. Judges for the contest were Maureen Lemos of Waterford, Eileen Martinho of Tulare and Joanne Verstuft of Hanford. The event chairpersons was Lucy Areias of Fresno and Melannie Rollin of Riverdale. The Dairy Princess Contest was catered by Ed’s Catering of Hanford and photos were by Ashley Loyd photography of Riverdale. California is the nation’s leading milk producer. It also produces more butter, ice cream and nonfat dry milk than any other state. The state is the second-largest producer of cheese and yogurt. Dairy products made with Real California Milk can be identified by the Real California Milk seal, which certifies that the products are made with milk produced on California dairy farms by California dairy farm families.
