The final interviews to determine Lombard’s 2022 Lilac Queen took place on Saturday, April 23, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Hotel, located at 707 E. Butterfield Road, Lombard. A panel of three non-biased judges who neither live nor work in Lombard conducted a 10-minute interview with each of the five princesses. Pictured left to right before the interviews are: Princess Felicity Abbott, Princess Kayla Hickman, Princess Katy Nairn, Princess Allison O’Callaghan and Princess Caitlyn Oliva. One of the five court members will be crowned as the 2022 Lilac Queen at the coronation ceremony that will take place on Sunday, May 1, at Lilacia Park.
