MaKenzie Quissell will serve as one of this year’s 2021 500 Festival Princesses.
Quissell is a graduate of Plymouth High School and is currently a junior at Indiana State University majoring in finance and minoring in Financial Services and Insurance/Risk Management. She recently accepted an internship with Gibson Insurance in Plymouth for summer of 2021.
She was one of 33 princesses chosen out of hundreds of applicants in the state based on communication skills, academic performance, community involvement, commitment to service, and leadership.
The 500 Festival is a not-for-profit organization that produces more than 50 life-enriching events and programs that celebrate the spirit and legacy of the Indianapolis 500 and produce a positive impact on the city of Indianapolis and state of Indiana.
This spring, Quissell and the other princesses will experience various virtual opportunities to engage in professional development, create lifelong connections with business and community leaders, and gain mentorship from the 500 Festival Board of Directors. They will also participate in virtual outreach opportunities including the 500 Festival’s statewide outreach program, which educates Hoosiers about the history and legacy of the Indianapolis 500, the 500 Festival, and various events and programs.
The 500 Festival Kickoff to May is scheduled for May 5.
