Kewaunee resident Kiley Pagel hopes you might consider following in her footsteps as a top candidate for Alice in Dairyland. Pagel was one of the six top candidates vying for the role of Alice in Dairyland. This year-long reign involves traveling the state promoting different aspects of Wisconsin agriculture. Three months after being announced as a top candidate and after three days of finals-related competition in Door County, Oconomowoc’s Halei Heinzel was crowned Alice in Dairyland last Saturday night. Despite not being selected, Pagel says it was an opportunity of a lifetime where she learned so much and met many people.
Pagel is not ruling out a second bid at becoming Alice in Dairyland, but she says she has plenty to keep her busy until she decides to apply. She is currently the marketing advisor for Pagel Family Businesses and is graduating from UW-Green Bay this Saturday with a degree in business administration.
