Kaitlynne Postel, the reigning Miss Kentucky, followed in the footsteps of her mother and aunt to win the right to compete in this years Miss AmericaPageant.

The 20-year-old college student from Lexington is following in the footsteps of recent Miss Kentuckys by serving as official spokesperson for the Kentucky Department of Agricultures Teens and Tobacco Program in about 160 Kentucky elementary, middle and high schools.



Its something I would volunteer to do, Postel said, so having it as a job is neat. Im excited.



The Teens and Tobacco program, No Ifs, Ands or Butts Its the Law, was established in 1996 to prevent the sale of tobacco products to anyone under 18.

Yesterday, Friday, October 5, 2007, Miss Kentucky visited all of the Adair County Schools: Adair County High School, Adair County Middle School, Colonel William Casey, and John Adair Intermediate School. -CM

I want to welcome Kaitlynne to our team, Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer said. She will be traveling all over the Commonwealth to speak to students about the laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to minors and the penalties for breaking the law.

Postels mother, Lynne, won the Miss Maryland pageant in 1982. Her aunt, Marcia Malone Bell, was Miss Kentucky in 1978 and finished among the top 10 in the Miss America Pageant.

The Miss Kentucky pageant was the first statewide contest in which Postel had competed. Her singing talent also helped her earn the title of Miss Monticello in December.

Postel is in her junior year at the University of Kentucky this fall. Although Postel was born in Miami and graduated from high school in Columbus, Ohio, she considers herself a Kentuckian after spending seven years of her life, from age 3-10, in Somerset, KY.

Kentucky is my home Ive lived here longer than anywhere else, she said. Five days after my graduation, my family and I were ready to get out of there (Ohio), and we moved back to Kentucky.

Postel made two public appearances at the upcoming Kentucky State Fair. She attended the Farm Commodity Breakfast on August 16, 2007 and the Kentucky Farm Bureau Country Ham Breakfast on August 23, 2007 where carried the grand champion ham while it is auctioned off for charity.Postels grandfather is former State Rep.
