WOODVILLE – The Dogwood princesses for 2023 were the guests at the noon meeting of the Rotary Club of Woodville last Wednesday.

The five princesses are: Kaylee Tolar of Chester, Ella Hatton of Spurger, Natalie Standley of Warren, Savannah Ludewig of Woodville, and Gracen Lindsey of Colmesneil. Each girl introduced herself and highlighted her accomplishments and future goals.
