For the first time since 2019, there is a new Miss Posen. Macy Kroll, 17, who will be a senior at Posen High School, is Miss Posen 2022. She is the daughter of Jacob and Tammy Kroll and was crowned at Friday’s pageant.
She won the talent portion with a self-choreographed pointe dance to the song “You Will Be Found.” She also won the coordination award along with the poise and appearance award.

Madison Kamyszek, the daughter of Greg and Jenna Kamyszek, earned second runner-up. She solved three Rubic’s Cubes in less than three minutes for her talent presentation.

Ernie Romel, the father of three former Miss Posens in daughters Amanda, Rachel and Erika, served as host of the event. He brought tears to the eyes of many when he gave tribute to his late friend Randy Idalski, who had served as host for several years.
The Posen Potato Festival returned in 2021 but the pageant remained canceled due to a lack of interest and a venue.
