Dairy Princess Amanda & Alternate Samantha introduce themselves at the Cheese Social.
If you are wondering, the Cheese Social is a quick start to the nights events. The Co-Chair representatives from North Bay Dairy Women & California Milk Advisory Board meet with the Committee Members, Judges, Contestants, Escorts & Sponsors for a brief cheese tasting & social time.
The contestants introduce themselves & their escorts to those attending and have a few minutes to mingle with the judges and committee in an informal event.
The girls are presented a gift by the California Milk Advisory Rep, this year Jerry Corda had that duty.
Chair Judy Buttke presents our Emcee, Ralph Sartori with a gift and everyone takes a few minutes to try and relax before the onstage event begins.
