Jericho Jones was crowned the new Miss Milbank during the 2024 Snow Queen Festival presented by The Valley Express. Jericho, a senior at MHS, is the daughter of Jenette Benscoter and Dion Jones. She was sponsored by First Bank & Trust, BNJ Electric, and Core 24 Fitness.
Ella Sandvig, daughter of Brian and Janel Sandvig, was selected as the first runner-up. Gemma Street, daughter of Jesse and Nikki Street, was named the second runner-up. Each of the three winners receives a scholarship. Ella was also selected as Miss Congeniality.
Little Miss Milbank for 2025, Hawley Kirchberg, is the daughter of Craig and Brianna Kirchberg. Little Miss Milbank was chosen (by chance) from a bevy of 27 kindergarten princesses. Kimber Downes, daughter of Justin and Brigette Downes was announced as the co-Little Miss Milbank. Kimber is currently undergoing cancer treatment and was unable to participate in the Festival.
