2015 Nationals Queen Shannon Edd

The 2015 Knoxville Nationals Queen is Shannon Edd from Stanford, CA.

Edd topped out 14 other competitors in front of a packed house at Dyer-Hudson Hall on the Marion County Fairgrounds Tuesday night. Edd says she’s been to the Knoxville Nationals 13 times, but says this will be the best one yet.

Leah Blaney from Hartford, OH was first-runner up, while Brooke Nattress from Luverne, MN was second runner-up. Miss Congeniality was Jacee Wren from College Station, TX.

Knoxville natives Lacie Lambert and Shauna Schmitt were also runners up in the contest.

Edd and all the contestants will enjoy a variety of activities during the Knoxville Nationals, including participating in the annual parade on Saturday.
