"Being a Daffodil Princess was one of the greatest experiences throughout my life. I got to have so many new experiences and give back to my community in brand new ways I never have before. Meeting new people, creating lasting connections, and getting to do it with girls who have the same values as me has been one of the greatest gifts the festival has given me."
-Princess Claire, White River 2025
"The Festival helped develop and build my confidence speaking in large crowds and intimidate settings with people of varying ages. I enjoyed being a kid and always representing as an ambassador in more serious settings. The mission and values of this organization inspired me to continue giving back to my community and why this program is dear to my heart."

"The Daffodil Festival was the one thing I had that was my own. Being very studious and scared to be involved in anything, the festival grew my confidence exponentially. To this day, each and every person is part of my family, and I cherish every person I got to meet on appearances, each memory I made, and each moment that made me stronger. Now, I am giving back to my community through the festival as a volunteer and as a future counselor, which the festival helped me discover within myself. "
-Princess Meghan, Rogers & Miss Congeniality 2017
