REYNOLDS â Kayla Benningtonâs childhood dream came true Saturday night at the White County 4-H Fair.
Bennington, 20, of Monticello, was crowned Miss White County 2021 in front of a boisterous crowd at the White County Fairgrounds in Reynolds. She is the daughter of Kent Bennington and Kelly Dold and is a 2019 graduate of Twin Lakes High School.
âThere are no words to describe how I feel right now,â Bennington said. âI have been working so hard for this. This has been a dream of mine since I was little girl. I remember when I was out there (in the crowd) watching this. To actually have a crown on my head now and to be named the 2021 Miss White County is something I will never be able to put into words.â

MONTICELLOÂ â The lack of drama Twin Lakesâ softball team provided Saturday during the first game of a doubleheader with rival Rensselaer they more than made up for in the nightcap.
Lilly Foster broke a 9-9 tie in the sixth with a run-scoring single to center and Olivia Crawn blasted a three-run homer to left, propelling a seven-run sixth inning as the Twin Lakes earned a sweep of the Bombers.
Crawn finished the game going 2-for-4 with a double, home run and six RBIs.
Lilly Foster picked up two singles, a double and a triple with two RBIs and two runs scored in four at-bats, and Taylor Hodgen singled and doubled with two RBIs and two runs scored.
MICHIGANTOWN — Twin Lakes scored 11 runs in the first inning and cruised the rest of the way en route to a 21-6 season-opening win Saturday over Clinton Central.
