Indiana State Fair Queen Program

I had a great time at the first fair of this summer! I judged the baby contest with so many adorable little ones and attended the demolition derby with the Jennings County Court! I also made my way to the 4-H building where some young 4-H’ers showed me their projects! It was so good to see Miss Jennings County 2025, Grace Patterson!
Thank you so much for having me at the opening day of your fair Jennings County!

Had a great time in Orange County tonight celebrating the crowning of their 2026 Fair Royalty, thank you for having me!

Congratulations to Heidi Hickman on being crowned Miss Orange County 2026! Olivia Hopkins had an incredible year representing Orange County.

Loved meeting Miss Washington County 2026, Izzy Guthrie, and seeing Mariah Eggersman, Miss Indiana State Fair 2013!

Such a great visit in Bartholomew County! I had the opportunity to share a little about my county & state fair pageant journey and offer advice to an incredible group of contestants! After helping with mock interviews, it’s clear this group is going to make for a very competitive year!

Always so special getting to reconnect with familiar faces, loved seeing Miss Bartholomew County 2025, Lauren, again!

County Fair Queen season is here! 👑

With county fair queen competitions taking place across Indiana, we’d love to create a statewide list of competition dates to help contestants, families, friends, and fair supporters stay informed throughout the summer.

Know of an upcoming county fair queen competition? Help us add to the growing list! Your county fair and contestants will appreciate the support!

⬇️ Comment your county, date, time, and location below! ⬇️

What a special night in Jay County reconnecting with Gretchen, not only a member of my state court but a friend for life! The contestants for Miss Jay County 2026 were so well prepared and tonight it was my honor to just add some final tips! Thank you for having me this evening! (Wish I could make it back for Donkey Baseball at your fair! 🥰)

We have some good news to share!

Miss Indiana State Fair 2024, Alexxys Standish, was crowned Miss Wabash Valley earlier this year, and she will compete at Miss Indiana taking place June 17-20!

We are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished and can’t wait to cheer her on. Best of luck, Alexxys! ♥️

What a beautiful day in Dubois County! Being outside at the park with awesome ladies and a scavenger hunt made for a great day! ☀️ The contestants are prepped and ready! Thank you for having me! So grateful for time with Sandy Neukam, State Fair Board President!

Had the best time at the Rush County Queen Contest, thank you so much for having me! Congratulations to Alexis Bowles on being crowned Miss Rush County 2026 👑 and shoutout to Alexis Rapp for an amazing reign.
It was so fun getting to see Miss Hancock County and Pilar Bravo, Miss Indiana State Fair 2025. Such a special night!
