Photos: 2021 Apple Blossom Jr. Royalty selected
Washington State Apple Blossom Junior Royalty for 2021 are from left: Princess Morgan Neuenschwander, daughter of Stephan and Kristin Neuenschwander, Wenatchee; Queen Eve Hunter, daughter of Nigel and Nicole Hunter, East Wenatchee; and Princess Maxine Mathison, daughter of West and Courtney Mathison, Wenatchee. Morgan attends Washington Elementary School. Eve and Maxine are students at River Academy. The fifth-grade girls were chosen by a panel of educators from two essays they wrote. There were 62 candidates this year. They will attend some Apple Blossom events with the older royalty including the Stemilt and Keyes Fibre Community Parade on June 12.
Nicole Hunter hugs her daughter Eve who was just announced as the junior royalty queen at a ceremony at Valley Academy Thursday. She said her daughter found out about the contest the day before the deadline to submit an essay with the subject, "Have you ever wondered?" Eve has two older brothers and a younger sister.
