Heather Wasson of State College was crowned the 2012-13 Centre County Dairy Princess recently by outgoing dairy princess Tanna Shirk, of Bellefonte.
Wasson is the 16-year-old daughter of Ronald and Candace Wasson. She grew up and works on her family’s fifth generation dairy farm. She will be a junior in the fall at State College Area High School.
Also joining Wasson this year on the promotion team are two alternates — Terren Lesher of Pennsylvania Furnace and Halee Wasson of State College.
The contestants were judged on a skit/creative presentation, a speech for an adult audience, an interview with the judges and answered an impromptu question. Each girl was required to design a poster representing at least one of the 10 key messages of the dairy industry. The judges for the evening were: Daryl Schafer of Aaronsburg, Daniela Roland of Saxton and Valerie Reed of Reedsville.
Serving on the court will be: Dairy Maids Carly Gilliland of Boalsburg; Rebeccah Harter of Bellefonte; Dairy Miss Gretchen Little of Zion; and Lil’ Miss Jordan Anderson of Centre Hall.
