Brown County has a Finalist for Princess Kay of the Milky Way!

On Sunday afternoon, the Finalists for 2011 Princess Kay of the Milky Way were named! And Brown County is proud to be home to yet another butterhead! 

Congratulations to Kelsey Sellner, of Sleepy Eye!  (Pictured 1st on left, front row)

After a grueling Saturday, filled with personal interviews, mock media interviews, and speeches, a panel of judges chose these lovely 12 ladies from over 70 princesses across the state of Minnesota!  Each of these young women will have their likenesses carved in a 90 pound block of butter at the Minnesota State Fair in August!  Brown County has been home to 13 butterheads (Angela Sellner, 2010, being the most recent)...Kelsey will be our 14th butterhead! 

We are so proud of Kelsey!  Congratulations to her and her family!!!!
