A LETTER FROM THE 2019 QUEEN
Welcome to the 2021 Stephenson County Fair.
This year’s fair is on its way to being bigger and better than ever with many new attractions for everyone to see. I am Cassie Hood, your 2019 Miss Stephenson County Fair Queen. What a journey 2019 was for me. This expedition has been full of excitement, heartwarming memories, and fun-loving times from our very own fair, to riding in and waving to happy faces in parades, going to the Illinois State Fair and pageant, and last but not least, meeting some of the most genuine people along the way.
Being the Stephenson County Fair Queen has taught me more than I could imagine about myself. I came into our fair pageant simply to have a great time and to partake in something I have never done before. Once the day of the pageant arrived, I was full of nerves and excitement overall. After the pageant started, everything flew by and it was over before we knew it. Holding this title has been dear to me and has taught me about courage, and it has been a time of pure bliss.
I would like to thank my Jr. Miss, Audra Lartz; Little Miss, Karrigan Wingert; and Little Miss, Kinzy DeHaven, for the wonderful times we spent together during fair week, parades, and special events we attended. The bond and memories we have will last forever, and you have made 2019 very special to me.
Although I am not quite ready to give up my crown, I know the time has come to pass the title on to the next deserving young lady who I am sure will do an outstanding job of representing the Stephenson County Fair. I encourage all girls age six (6) to twenty-one (21) to participate in the Stephenson County Fair Pageant. It is an experience you will never forget and it will be the best time of your life. Thank you to the Stephenson County Fair and Pageant Committee for giving myself and others the opportunity of a lifetime to be called Royalty.
Thank you to our 2020 Queen Pageant Sponsors:
