This contest is NOT a beauty pageant. We are looking for a natural born female with good moral character, an outgoing personality, and who is involved in our community, along with an agricultural background.

The Fair Queen and Court will attend the functions of the Fair through all 10 days. They are also required to attend a minimum of 6 events throughout the reigning year. If you have several other commitments, please take this into consideration.

The Fair Queen’s main priority is to the St. Lucie County Youth Livestock Program. Some of her duties require her to take pictures for our livestock awards and sales. This includes but is not limited to pigs, steers, and goats.

Carefully review the application regulations and deadlines. We are looking for individuals that would be proud to represent this county. We look forward to meeting all applicants.

Contest attire is:

Long jeans (no holes), long sleeve button down shirt, belt, and closed toe boot style shoes.

Contestants may wear cowboy hats but be aware if you win you may need to take it off to put your crown on.
