New Free Fair Queens to rep Stephens County
BY TAMARA GREGOR
The 24th Annual Stephens County Free Fair Pageant will take place Aug. 1 at in the Conference Center of the Stephens County Fair and Expo Center in Duncan.
The pageant began in 2003 with three contestants vying for the title. This year, the competition will feature contestants in five age divisions.
Each year, contestants compete in interviews, casual wear and party wear. Additionally, a Miss Photogenic is chosen in each category from photos submitted.
The Stephens County Free Fair will take place Aug. 24-29.
Marketing / Communication Community Engagement Director Heather Kulbeth said the ongoing tradition of the Stephens County Free Fair Pageant will give young ladies the opportunity to develop confidence, leadership, public speaking skills, as well as community involvement. She said the young ladies will serve as ambassadors for the fair throughout the year.
“ Our Fair Queen and her court represent the values of sportsmanship, service and hometown pride, helping promote fair events and encouraging others to become involved in one of our county’ s oldest and most cherished traditions,” she said.“ As we celebrate the 119th Stephens County Free Fair, we invite everyone to join us in supporting our local youth, enjoying the return of the rodeo and making memories that will last a lifetime.”
Tickets are $ 5 and can be purchased at the Stephens County Fairgrounds from 8:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. Monday through Friday, until July 31. Advance purchase of a ticket is required and no tickets will be available at the door.
The doors will open for the Free Fair Pageant at 1:10 p. m. Aug. 1 and competition will begin at 1:30 p. m. The contestants will have their interviews Saturday morning.
