The Miss Allen County Queen Scholarship Pageant is an official preliminary for the Miss Indiana State Fair Queen Pageant. The pageant is open to young ladies the ages of 17-21 that live in Allen County OR and adjoining county but participate in Allen County 4-H or go to school in Allen County. To participate a contestant must turn 17 by June, 1, 2019.

It is a great opportunity to meet new people, learn interviewing and public speaking skills, gain confidence and above all have fun making new friends.

There are four areas of competition: interview, professional wear, evening wear, and on-stage question. Each of which represent various percentages of the final score. Miss Allen County is not a high competition program. Many girls that compete and win the title have never competed in a pageant before. We look for a role model and positive ambassador for the Allen County Fair.

Each Miss Allen County and her court are honored to reign over the Allen County Fair. At the fair, queen and court participate and make appearances at events such as Kid’s Day, the demo derby, 4-H shows, kiddie tractor pull, and many more fun activities. In addition to the Allen County Fair, Miss Allen County makes appearances throughout the year at charity events and fundraisers, but most importantly represents Allen County at the Indiana State Fair Queen Contest in January.
