Frances Mae Fisher was the Kentucky Society of Washington's representative as a Cherry Blossom Princess and, by the spin of a wheel at the Festival Ball, was named Queen of the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Okay, so how does one know so much about a long-ago event? Was Frances your Mom? Were you the young ring bearer? Whatever, deciding by the spin of a wheel makes as much sense as a swimsuit competition.
