Kathy Brannon and Nikki Ward had tied for queen! This dual royal- ty was only the second time in Dairy Festival History, jaudon Bullard's pretty smile and singing abilities earned her first runner-up. Ward and Stacey Moore were also double winners in being named Miss Congeniality. ALL THAT jAZZ. Michelle Moody put: the finishing touching on her dame during rehearmlf. 24 - Student Lifl: Being in Dairy Festival was so much fun and it brought me so many precious memories. Now I am looking forward to sharing the throne with Nikki and having a great year as one of the l987 Dairy Festival queens, Kathy Brannon, junior, said. Prior to the announce- ment of queen awards were given to the float and ticket sales winners. Beth Allison's float entitled White Gold won sweep- stakes. The award for most beautiful float was given to Cheri Phillips. Nikki Ward's float received most original and Kathy Bran- non's work paid off when she won best use of theme. Beth Allison led in ticket sales by selling 208 tickets. Cheri Phillips was second in sales and Nikki Ward was third. My year as Dairy Festival Queen was very exciting. I attended many parades, pageants and county activities. It was a great experience and I felt honored to represent Hopkins County and the dairy industry. It was sad giving up my crown but I know the new queens will do a great job representing Hopkins County and will have as much fun as I did, Suzanne Glover, senior said.

Q, l o j DECISIONS Milking Contest Highlights Festival Coaxing a cow to give milk will be an event Ward, jaudon Chelby Millsap, Coppedge, Beth Michelle Moody, Moore, Cheri and Kathy Bran- Nikki Bullard, Melissa Allison, Stacey Phillips non will remember from Dairy Festival. I am very glad that I got to be in the Dairy Festival. I learned a lot, even how to milk a cow. This was an experi- ence I will never forget, Cheri Phillips, junior, said. The two week long festivities started out with the annual parade. Dairyland Around the World was well repre- sented by the lovely floats, depicting USA, Austria, Italy, France, Switzerland, Ireland, japan, Saudi Arabia and Holland. The parade ran its regular route from the park and down Gilmer Street. During the parade, the floats were judged on workmanship, creativity, dairy products used and if it could make it through the entire parade. After the ice-cream freeze-off the following Friday, the traditional milking contest gave the girls a chance to try their hand at milking a cow. Sadie the cow helped Beth Allison win the contest with 2.4 lbs. of milk. Kathy Brannon came in second and Nikki Ward was a close third. The queen's dinner was held at Suzanne Gloveris house. Each girl was presented a shirt and a necklace. The day of the pageant, a judges dinner was given in the home of Ann Ardis. This small luncheon gave the judges an opportunity to get to know the girls. Besides all of the fun, long rehearsals and late nights kept the contestants busy preparing for the big night.
