American Dairy Association North East and Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program welcomed Jesslyn Risser from Lebanon County as the 2025-2026 Pennsylvania Dairy Princess, along with alternates Bryanne Keller from Adams County and Rebekah Aldrich from Franklin County, as the new state team on Saturday, September 20.
ADA North East and Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program support the Pennsylvania Dairy Princess program with funding, training and promotional resources through the dairy checkoff program.
“As dairy farmers, we’re fortunate to be able to support these outstanding young women who are passionate about sharing positive dairy messages with consumers of all ages,” said Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program Chair Lolly Lesher. “This program is ultimately a youth development program that helps prepare the participants to become future leaders in all industries, as well as life-long dairy advocates.”
The pageant can be viewed on the Pennsylvania Dairy Princess and Promotion Service Facebook page.
In addition to Pennsylvania, ADA North East supports dairy princess and ambassador programs in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, and manages the programs in New York and New Jersey.
