\nThe first Dairy Princess pageant was held in 1964 in conjunction with the Morrison Cove Dairy Show in August. Contestants from Blair, Bedford and Huntingdon counties could participate. Later, it was changed to contestants from Blair County only.
\nThirty-two young ladies have since represented the dairy industry as dairy princess. In 1990, Kristin (Metzker) Russell was selected as the county\u2019s first state dairy princess.
\nThe organizer would look to invite all previous dairy princesses and alternates to join in the selection of the 2003-04 Blair County Dairy Princess.
\nAll are welcome to attend the pageant only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
