Queen contests and ‘Attagirl!’ thoughts

Harvard Milk Days kicked off Saturday with the crowning of the Milk Days Queen, and I was one of three judges.

What a breath of fresh (country) air. I’m referring to the 15 teens who competed. They were so put-together, charming and driven. Gave me reason to feel very encouraged about tomorrow’s young women.

You’ll have opportunities to take in other queen contests that’ll no doubt boost your “attagirl!” feelings in general at the Boone, Winnebago, Ogle and McHenry county fairs this summer.

By the way, Alexandra Engle was crowned 2008 Milk Days Queen. One of her first biggest appearances: She’ll ride with her court in the two-hour parade June 7  in downtown Harvard. Watching the parade is one of my highlights of “summer.”
