GREENFIELD – On Saturday, 11 young ladies will vie for the title of 2024 Hancock County 4-H Fair Queen.
The annual 4-H fair pageant, which originated in 1958, often draws contestants from all four Hancock County high schools.
Last year’s queen – Emily Grant of Charlottesville – recently graduated from Eastern Hancock High School.
This year’s pageant starts at 3 p.m. at Trinity Park Church, at 207 W. Park Ave. in Greenfield. The public is welcome to attend.
The event is once again sponsored by NineStar Connect, which will present this year’s queen with a monetary award, a sash, tiara, rose bouquet and luggage set.
This year’s princess and queen’s court members will also receive monetary awards.
Miller’s Jewelry of Greenfield donated charms for the 4-H Fair queen, princess, Miss Congeniality and queen’s court.
The queen and her court will preside over this year’s Hancock County 4-H Fair, which takes place June 18-28 at the county fairgrounds in Greenfield.
