- Margaret McGuire: The year that I was the Alice in Dairyland,
a photographer took my picture and he sent the picture in,
and I became a finalist without even knowing it.
And I was the first Alice in Dairyland.
It was a special, great honor, I thought.
So that was really exciting.
In my scrapbook, I have pictures of the mechanical doll.
And this doll looked just like me.
At the dairy building, this doll was used to greet visitors.
I did a lot of traveling,
speaking at civic organization lunches and dinners
and riding in parades.
I met a lot of celebrities, Guy Lombardo, Liberace,
and governors and mayors.
The people I met, the travels that I was able to take,
that's what I remember most about it.
