August 8th Miss Effingham County Fair Pageant





When it comes to a "storybook" setting for a county fair...Effingham County Fair is everything you would imagine and more. Of course they have the wonderful fair food including my personal favorite, a powder sugar topped funnel cake. Neon lights of the carnival rides reach up into the night sky while the grandstand is full of a cheering crowd watching the concert. While taking in the atmosphere you can't miss the livestock in the background. They have all of the elements that make it the best county fair in the state! I was honored when the Pageant Director Colleen G. invited me to serve as the judges escort, make an appearance during the pageant, and assist with the crowning. To be made a part of the Effingham County Fair was very exciting for me. The photos L to R: Taken with the contestants after the personal interviews at the Keller Convention Center. The ladies were all so polished and prepared. The next photo is of Julia W. who accompanied me at the pageant. She is one of my FAVORITE people in the world. My first year of directing the local Jr.Miss County Fair Julia was the winner. An amazing young lady who proves everyday that excellence can be achieved while maintaining balance and a genuine love of life. The remaining two photos are my assisting with the crowning and as I was speaking with Greg Sapp, the emcee and local radio personality, prior to announcing the new titleholder.
