On Wednesday, the day before the state fair officially opens, reigning Princess Kay Rachel Visser of Hutchinson passed her crown on to Malorie Thorson, of Waverly, to take the title, and have her face immortalized in a butter sculpture. Thorson, 20, will represent Wright County, and is the daughter of Andrew and Colette Thorson.

It's the first day of the Minnesota State Fair, and the new Princess Kay of the Milky Way will have her likeness carved in butter.
