It’s all in the family for the Mirons of Hugo
During the first 53 years of the Princess Kay of the Milky Way
competition, not one dairy princess from Washington County had earned
the coveted title. That streak came to an end in 2007 when Ann Miron of Hugo walked the
bandshell stage at the Minnesota State Fair as the 54th Princess Kay of
the Milky Way.
With one streak broken, the Washington County run of good luck has only
flourished. On Wednesday, Aug. 25, a second county resident captured
the Princess Kay title.

FL woman takes 12th at world horseshoe championships
“Firm step, follow through, trust your shoe.”
Tiffany Syring has been hearing that phrase for as long as she can
remember, having grown up in a family of accomplished horseshoe
pitchers.
The St. Paul native has excelled in the sport from a young age, placing third in the junior world championships in 1993.
Now 34 and president of the horseshoe club in Forest Lake, Syring has
found her way back to the sport’s forefront. After taking several years
off from professional competition to raise a family, she reached the
championship round of the World Horseshoe Pitching Championships in
Cedar Rapids, IA last month.
Forest Lake’s Tiffany Syring is seeded second as she heads to the state championship in Mankato this weekend.

702 Schilling Circle. A neighbor who was out walking a dog noticed the fire and pounded on
the door to wake up the residents, Scott Harrer and family. Everyone
made it out of the house safely.

For the second time in four years, lightning has struck for the Miron family of Hugo. On Wednesday night at the Minnesota State Fair Bandshell, Katie Miron, 19, daughter of Fran and Mary Ann Miron, became the 57th Princess Kay of the Milky Way. Miron, right, nearly buckled to the floor during the coronation by outgoing Princess Kay Elizabeth Olson of Hutchinson. Katie Miron is the second Miron girl to become Princess Kay. Her sister, Ann, was the 54th Princess Kay of the Milky Way in 2007. Along side Katie here are the other two finalists from the field of 12 county dairy princesses — Labecca Johnson, 20, of LaCrescent in Houston County, and Katherine Holdvogt, 18, of Freeport in Stearns County. For the next year, Katie will become the goodwill ambassador of the dairy industry in Minnesota. She is a sophomore at the University of Minnesota studying agricultural education. The crowning of the new Princess Kay comes each year on the eve of the Minnesota State Fair. (Photo By Cliff Buchan)

Work is still underway a little over a month into the downtown roundabout project in Forest Lake.
Much of the improvements have been made to the south end of Lake Street
(US-61), but some recent severe weather was an opportunity for Peterson
Companies to switch from repairing the roadway to completing utility
work on the west side of the portion north of the intersection.
