Ellie Hanson is the 2025 Miss Maple Lake. She was crowned along with five others Saturday evening, March 15th at the high school auditorium following the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
Representing Maple Lake with her this year will be Princess Kalli Hennen, Junior Princesses Layla Engle and McKinlie Klein-Pramann, and Little Miss Maple Lakes Harlyn Duran and Braelyn Latour. Hanson was also voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow candidates.
The event drew a standing-room only crowd, including a large “sparkle section” dedicated to visiting royalty from other communities. The candidates and current royalty opened with a dance routine they’d been practicing for weeks followed by the introduction of this year’s judges.
