Here is a link to this year's appearance Queens' responsibilities.
Fair titles are a commitment, but they are FUN. We want queens who are excited to represent the fair and put in the work. They're rewarded with fun, community outreach experience, and networking with an entire county (and state at TAF).
Queens have gotten scholarships, college admissions, and entry to exclusive honors programs on our recommendation based on their experience with us as fair queens.
I highly encourage anyone on the fence about competing to give it a try, it's worth your time!
If you have any questions not answered here or on the previously linked entry info document, please ask in the comments so we can answer for others who may share your question to see as well.

Posting this again with clarification because I had more questions. Yesterday was answering one question but spawned more about other topics. Also remember to thoroughly read the entire paperwork which has all the rules and info.

Please ask any questions in the comments so I can answer for all to see. 🩷

ALL DIVISIONS
You may not hold any other county fair title and compete for our county fair titles. 
This is a NEW rule and is the very second rule listed in our paperwork. Link to said paperwork is posted below for everyone to review.
If you hold a county fair title that will expire before our pageants, (meaning you crown the new winner before our pageants occur) you can compete. If your county fair title does not expire until after our pageants, you may not compete this year.

Additionally, FOF division can NEVER compete again for FOF division if they've been FOF in any county. AND they also have a non-compete clause meaning they cannot compete in any pageants or wear any other sash/crown for the year if crowned FOF.
