The 18-year old Ux- bridge girl was crowned Miss Dairy Princess for Ontario County, and for the next year or so, Sharon will be a roving ambassador for the milk industry, promoting milk products and proper nutrition. When the panel of judges made the decision at the competition held at Sharon's family farm just north of Uxbridge, it was a moment she had been waiting for most of her life. The judges had a tough time making their selec- tion, as all four young ladies seeking the crown of Dairy Princess would have made superb reps ~ for the milk industry and dairy farmers in Ontario County. Along with Sharon. there were three others seeking the title, in- cluding Kim Murray Evans of Uxbridge and Marita Kersten of Manchester. 'Being a dairy princess is something I've wanted for a long time, ever since | was a little girl,"" Sharon told the Star in an interview after the competition. The judges deen was based mainly on\a lengthy interview they conducted with each of the four contestants covering such things as knowledge of the diary industry, hobbies, ambi- tions, poise and general personality. The final portion of the competition was a speech in front of the large crowd who attend- ed the ceremonies at the Wilson farm last week. Sharon is no stranger to the business of dairy farming. Her family has operated a farm north of Uxbridge for many years, and she has taken an active role in the other aspects of the family business: Lloyd Wilson Auctioneering. A graduate this year from grade 13, Sharon says she is uncertain at this time whether to at- tend the Ontario Bible College this fall to study - music and theology, or remain at home and work in the family business. The fact that she was chosen Dairy Princess may dictate that choice, for starting in September, she is going to be very busy with her official duties. She will be attending all the fall fairs in the area, speaking to service groups and other organizations, handing out ribbons at dairy shows. And possibly the most important aspect of her work will be speaking to school children about milk and nutrition. Her school visits will take her into the classrooms of ur- ban schools in such areas as Oshawa, Whitby and Pickering where many of no knowledge of dairy farms or the milk industry. All these activities will lead towards the annual Ontario Province Dairy Princess competitions held at the CNE. Sharon will compete there in 1986 and the standards are rigorous. The young lady selected to repre- sent all of Ontario as Dairy Princess must have a detailed and technical knowledge of the milk industry, poise and tact to meet the public, travel to the United States and British Isles, all as a full time paid employee of the On- tario Milk Marketing Board for her one year reign as Princess. While Sharon will be busy enough over the next 12 months or so representing Ontario County, she hopes to find time for her hobbies and interests which include music, teaching Sunday School and Uxbridge Baptist Church, and other volunteer work ITS ALMOST HERE!

Certainly, the warm temperatures and brilliant sunshine helped to bring out the crowds and people seemed to en- joy the fact that all the events were in a central location.

He said total expenses will amount to some $22,000, including $5,000 in direct promotion, and he is confident that the Chamber of Commerce will net a profit of about $2,000. If there were a couple of disappointments, one was the number of booths on Queen Street, and the other was the fact that young kids roamed the streets on their bikes, much to the chagrin of those trying to walk safely. Organizers tried to keep 'he bikes off the street, and next year, there will be an outright ban on all bicycles on Queen Street. One event that was popular was the auction, and Mr. Hvidsten said the generosity of mer- Festival Days a success chants who donated items for this sale, was incredible. As for next year, he's not sure at this time whether an attempt will be made to flip an even larger pancake, but it's a possibility.
