What This Program Really Is

The Miss Boone County Fair Queen Program is a leadership and scholarship program designed to help young women grow in confidence, communication, and community involvement.

Participants develop real-world skills through:

  • Interview preparation and professional communication

  • Public speaking and presenting with confidence

  • Community service and ambassador experiences

  • Personal growth in poise, responsibility, and leadership

Yes, there are competition elements — but they exist to teach professionalism, self-confidence, and presence, not to judge appearance.

Many of our participants begin unsure — and finish stronger, more confident, and better prepared for college, careers, and leadership roles
