Kyla Mauk, a 19-year-old college student from Howard Lake, Minn., representing Wright County, was crowned the 62nd Princess Kay of the Milky Way in an evening ceremony at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds August 26. Mauk will serve as the official goodwill ambassador for nearly 3,500 Minnesota dairy farm families. Throughout her year-long reign as Princess Kay of the Milky Way, Mauk will make public appearances to help connect consumers to Minnesota’s dairy farm families. She will also promote the Fuel Up to Play 60 program, through which she encourages students to get 60 minutes of physical activity each day and eat a healthy diet that includes three servings of dairy. Mauk’s first official duty as Princess Kay will be to sit in a rotating cooler in the Dairy Building for nearly six hours to have her likeness sculpted in a 90-pound block of butter on the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair – Thursday, August 27. This year marks butter sculptor Linda Christensen’s 44th year carving the Princess Kay of the Milky Way winner and finalists at the Minnesota State Fair.
