Make Room for the New Dairy Princess
This year's new District 3 Dairy Princess hails from Sonoma - Suzanne Amaral will be a "goodwill ambassador" for the local dairy industry
Over the weekend, the North Bay Dairy Women put on an event that's little known about to outsiders but which is a pretty big deal to the agricultural community.
We're talking about the annual Daily Princess Contest and Ball where each year a local girl is chosen to be the "goodwill ambassador" for the local dairy industry, speaking at schools, fairs and community events to raise the profile of dairy products.
On Saturday, at the ball held at the Petaluma Veterans' Hall, 17-year-old Suzanne Amaral, a Sonoma resident and senior at , was crowned the new Dairy Princess. Amara plans are to attend Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to study Agricultural Science/Agricultural Education.
