The moment! Rebecca Paskewitz of Browerville was crowned the 65th Princess Kay of the Milky Way. This is only the second time in the history of the event that a Todd County princess earned the big crown. The first time was Mary Ann Titrud of Clarissa in 1965. That was also the year that the princesses began having their likenesses carved in a huge block of butter. —photo credit: Matt Addington
