Every June, the 11 Green County communities choose a new Community Dairy Queen. On the Thursday before Dairy Days, all new queens are judged during the day. In the morning at the "Queen Banquet," the queens will introduce themselves and answer a question chosen by the judges. The judges will then select the new Green County Dairy Queen and Princess who will be named after the parade on June 25.

The Green County Dairy Queen and Princess are the official hostesses for the Green County Ag Chest. The Community Dairy Queens are hostesses in their communities.
