2020-2021 Sanpete County Fair Sweetheart & Jr. Princess Rodeo Royalty
The 2020 Sanpete County Fair Sweetheart and Junior Princess Rodeo Royalty were chosen during a contest held May 8, 2020, at the Contoy Arena. Because of COVID-19 and the Utah governor’s Code Orange at the time, the contest was conducted a bit differently than it has been in the past.

The modeling and speech parts of the contest could not be held as usual. The girls did compete in the horsemanship, horse knowledge and interview portions of the contest. Those participating had to spread out throughout the arena and do the best they could with the circumstances at the time.
A lot of queen contests weren’t held last year due to COVID restrictions and celebrations being canceled. The Sanpete County Fair board thought the fair was going to go forward last year, but because the state was still at high risk, the fair was canceled.
As a result, the fair board decided to have the 2020 Sweetheart and Junior Princess Rodeo Royalty continue their rein throughout 2021 and represent the fair at all the festivities throughout the county in 2021.
Those interested in trying out in 2022 should follow the Sanpete County Fair Sweetheart and Jr. Princess Rodeo Royalty Facebook page. All up-to-date information is posted on that page. Usually, signups are conducted around February and the contest is held in April or May. Signups are early so there is plenty of time to order buckles and saddles depending on how many contestants sign up.
The 2020-2021 Sanpete County Fair Sweetheart and Junior Princess Rodeo Royalty are:
