Veronica Ludwick is Warren County Dairy Princess 2021. She will spend the year as the public face of the dairy industry in the county.

The Warren County Dairy Princess Pageant was held on May 23 at the Woodland Lodge in Grand Valley.

In addition to Ludwick, daughter of Tim and Carrie Ludwick, several Warren County youth were named to positions on the court: Tristen Gates (Lil’ Miss), Kensley Sheldon (Dairy Miss), Harper Gates (Dairy Miss), Olivia Sheldon (Dairy Maid), Miranda Gates (Dairy Maid), Case Benedict (Dairy Ambassador), and Kaitlin Sleeman (Dairy Ambassador).

The Master of Ceremonies for the pageant was Melinda Johnson.

Special guests included State Rep. Kathy Rapp, Field Representative Mary Kushner of State Sen. Scott Hutchinson’s office, and past Dairy Princesses, including the first Warren County Dairy Princess Edith Lehman.
