Tending to her obligations as Miss USA 2009, Kristen Dalton was out for the unveiling of the “Red, White and Blue Banana Split” in Las Vegas on Tuesday (June 30).

Taking place at the Nevada Cancer Institute, Miss Dalton joined Dr. Karen Milligan in drawing attention to the kickoff of National Ice Cream Month.

Wearing a cute little dress

with her Miss USA sash, Kristen happily posed for pictures as she ate up her tasty ice cream treat.

Releasing a statement during the day’s happenings, the blonde beauty explained: “In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month. He believed Americans loved enjoying that fun and nutritious food.”
