Prince Lux Heinz, "Frosty" Joe Hoyle and Princess Harmony Geditz

The 2018 Snow Queens, Abigail Noltner and Lindsey Grabowska interviewed the Princess and Prince contestants. They asked each first grader a few questions. Then the youngsters sang. The winners, chosen at random, were Princess Harmony Geditz and Prince Lux Heinz.
