Lily Read

Chester Princess Lily Grace Read is the daughter of Wade and Stacy Read. Lily’s escort is Cutter David Lowe, son of Laura David and Stacey and Teri Lowe.
Lily has been dedicated to showing Brahman cattle for around a decade, a passion that has instilled a strong work ethic, goal-setting skills, and the confidence to step out of her comfort zone. Her dedication to agriculture has earned her numerous honors, including the Legacy Award, Overall Herdsman Award, and the R.A. Jernigan Award at the Tyler County Fair. Outside of the show ring, she enjoys traveling, spending time with family, and shopping. She has excelled in athletics during her high school years as well. Her three favorite things are her sisters, listening to music, and her sweet dog, Quincy. Lily plans to attend Angelina College to complete her basic courses before transferring to Stephen F. Austin State University to pursue a degree in Agricultural Communications. As a child, one of her most treasured Dogwood memories was attending the Royal Tea Party and admiring the Princesses and Ladies in Waiting. She is looking forward to experiencing the Tea Party from the other side
this year.
