Queen Kellie crowned the new ETBA Honey Princess for 2010, Merry Margaret Holloway on Dec. 3, 2009

Merry Margaret is 14 years old and the youngest daughter of Mark and Susan Holloway of Flint, Texas.

She is in the eighth grade at Good Shepherd School where she also attends Church and sings in the choir. She has been on the basketball and track team. She will be on the debate team this coming year.

Her interests are watching her bees from her bedroom window, photography of animals and learning to play the guitar in that order. She became interested in honey bees this past summer, took a mini course in beekeeping from Dick Counts, and then purchased two hives. She has registered for the regular beekeeping class by Dick Counts in the spring, joined the East Texas Beekeepers Association, and the Texas Beekeepers Association.  

Her ambition in life is to become a pastry chef, work with her bees, and teach others about their importance in our lives.
