Michelle enjoyed working at the Brown County Fair. Handing ribbons out and watching how hard the 4-Hers worked with their animals were some of her fondest memories. Michelle showed for about 5 years, so she knew first hard how hard they had worked. She also enjoyed handing out milk samples at Randall’s. Michelle is married for 1.5 years to Bruce Ahlness, who also grew up on a dairy farm in rural Springfield. Michelle also has 2 sons, Cory, age 19 and Collin age 14. Michelle works full time as a hair stylist and part time at South Point Federal Credit Union. To current princesses, Michele says, “Have lots of FUN!” Michelle continues to promote the dairy industry by drinking milk and buying “Real” butter! Michelle also shares a good story, “When we were going to Watermelon Days, our car overheated. Fred Braulick was driving for us that time and he was VERY cool about it. It was always fun working with Kathy and Fred Braulick!”
