2008 Brown County Dairy Princesses: Susan Hillesheim, Rebecca Sellner, and Melissa Lax.
Parents: Mike and Judy Sellner, Sleepy Eye
Currently: Sleepy Eye, MN
Rebecca’s favorite events were parades and classroom visits. “It was so much fun interacting with the children. They are so interested to learn!!” Rebecca is currently attending Minnesota State University, Mankato, pursuing a degree in Geography with a GIS certificate. To current princesses, she shares, “It is an honor to have the opportunity to promote the dairy industry. Make the most of your time as a dairy princess. It is definitely something you will miss!” When asked about still promoting dairy products, Rebecca shares, “Being at a large diverse college, I am often challenged by friends and classmates. Even teachers have misunderstandings about the dairy industry. I try to clear up these misunderstood topics and show them the dairy industry as the honest industry which I have come to know. This past semester at MNSU, I gave a PowerPoint presentation on the Dairy Industry, focusing on ethics. I thought that I would be highly challenged by my fellow classmates but they were actually really interested! They asked so many questions! Knowledge that I have come to know over the years I sometimes take for granted. It was a very good experience for the class as well as myself.”
