Katie Miron, a 19-year-old University of Minnesota student from Hugo, has been crowned the 57th Princess Kay of the Milky Way. The award was given on Wednesday night at the State Fairgrounds.

Miron, who represents Washington County, will serve as the official goodwill ambassador for the state’s dairy farmers.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports Miron’s coronation is the second time two individuals from the same family have served as Princess Kay, as Katie Miron’s sister Ann was crowned Princess Kay in 2007.

Katie Miron is the daughter of Fran and Mary Ann Miron of Hugo. She is studying agricultural education at the U of M.

Twelve county dairy princesses competed for this year’s Princess Kay title.
