Why do you want to be the Warren County Fair Queen?
“I want to be the Warren County Fair Queen not only because it’s been a dream of mine since I was a little girl, but because I now understand the deeper meaning behind the crown. Growing up, I saw the Fair Queen as a role model, someone who was elegant, kind, and involved in the community. She was someone I looked up to and aspired to become. Now that I’m older, I realize the true responsibility of the Warren County Fair Queen, to lead by example and be someone younger generations can look up to. I want to inspire others by showing that with hard work, dedication, and genuine heart for service, you can accomplish your goals and make a difference in your community. Being the Fair Queen would give me the opportunity to be a positive influence I once looked up to-and still admire today.
