We have sustained significant storm damage to a portion of the fairgrounds. Crews have been on site assessing the damage and beginning cleanup where possible.

🚫Due to numerous hazards, including downed power lines, we ask the public to please refrain from entering the fairgrounds. While the gates may be open while crews continue to work, the grounds are closed to the public.🚫

We are confident that this situation will not affect the upcoming fair, and we will be in a good position to operate as planned.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Can I be in the pageant (and possibly win) and still thrive in school and have a job? YES. 🙌🏻

We have had queens in high school, out of state at college, in state at college, have 1 job, many jobs... and they were all GREAT QUEENS.

Your education is ALWAYS priority. We schedule events around YOU. The best part about being queen, it's your year and you get to decide what you do with it! If you're on the fence about competing this year, reach out! I would love to answer any questions!
