Pageant contestants share a cultural bond By Tom Cr osby new s@nv da ily.com
rounded,” said Fischer. “I had to communicate with people in all aspects, whatever the situation was and it definitely helped me overcome my shyness. It brings young girls out of their shell and that builds bonds.”
It’s been 54 years since she was named Miss Shenandoah County Pageant Queen in 1963. Jane Senseny (now Rhodes) was the fourth young woman to win the modern title and she is looking forward to meeting more than half the 56 former fair queens who will be part of the Fair’s 100th anniversary celebration, as well as the 2017 queen.
Political correctness has changed the name of pageants. They are no longer called “beauty” pageants, although with their gowns, coiffured hair, dazzling smiles and physical presence, isn’t beauty the key to winning a competition?
That legacy gathering will be held tonight at Woodstock’s Central High School after the crowning of this year’s queen.
“No, absolutely not,” said Fischer. “The majority of them are based on talents and the interview. The fair looks at how active they are in the community.”
“It will interesting to talk and see what they experienced when they won,” said Mrs. Rhodes, 74. “We can share that and what happened in Richmond. I’m sure that has changed.”
“Judges are from out of town,” she added. “We live in the Pageant Belt so sometimes it is hard to get people who have pageant judging experience and don’t know the contestants.”
Shenandoah queens compete in the annual Virginia Association of Fairs contest, where six have prevailed, including the 2016 Shenandoah County Fair winner Queen Jensen Hoover, who also won the state contest. Pageant winners - and contestants - share a unique bond, much like high school alumni or former teammates in sports, based on their common experience of prepping for and participating in the competition and making friends.
“People have a stereotype that pageant winners don’t want to work, don’t want to get dirty but they are all-around girls and it’s a lot of hard work,” said Fisher. Jane Senseny, Miss Shenandoah County Pageant Queen, 1963
Fisher has been involved in pageants since she was a toddler and has the perspective of someone who competed for 15 years and has helped put on pageants for more than 20 years. She owns the Main Street Tease and Tweeze salon in Woodstock.
When the queens get together, they will be part of a “pageant culture,” said Bridgette Fischer, “I competed in Page County pageants when I was 3 years old co-director of the Shenandoah County Fair Scholarship Pageant. and I made friends then that are
still good friends now,” said Fisher. “Mom put me in the pageant because I was very shy and obviously, I’m not shy now.”
That is one reason that when winners are announced, the runners-up are often gracious and appear happy for the winner.
They know how hard everyone Mothers often enter their young worked, and they are happy daughters in pageants because of because the winner put in as the fun getting them dressed up much hard work as they did, and the socialization of being said Fisher. around other little girls. “It’s a good basis for forming a “It definitely made me more well friendship,” she said.

MOUNT JACKSON - Berlin Allen, 93, first went to the Shenandoah County Fair in 1928, traveling with his family from their farm in the Mount Jackson area.
And then, there was the burlesque show, or the “girly show” as Allen calls it. For years, he said, the fair had a burlesque show that lasted about 15 or 20 minutes.
As Allen finished reminiscing about the burlesque show, he noted, “The good old days, they’re getting gone.”

Cloverbuds become 4-H seedlings By Tom Cr osby new s@nv da ily.com The first seeds of 4-H are planted with Cloverbuds - children aged 5 to 8 - and this year they will have a unique chance to take a three day “Horses, Goats and Cows, Oh My!” themed camp during the 100th anniversary of the Shenandoah County Fair.

Now his son Nicholas, the youngest of three children - all of whom have become involved with 4-H - will show goats and rabbits for the third time at this year’s fair.
The camp limit is 20 kids and they will get a sneak peek “behind the scenes” about what it takes to show and exhibit items at the fair, learn about the “With school starting early, it fun activities the fair offers, cramped our time to offer Nicholas, 11, first went to camps during the summer,” said visit animals in the livestock Cloverbud camp at age 5 and Susan St. Amand, 4-H program barns, enjoy crafts and other “When I started I wasn’t sure games. assistant for the Virginia what it was going to be about Cooperative extension in the but as it progressed and I got county. “But with the kids out Cloverbuds often morph into more involved, it got me really of school, it gave us an active 4-H members and the excited,” he said. opportunity to hold a camp Binebrink family of Strasburg

A sixth grader at Strasburg’s Signal Knob Middle School, Nicholas said his father got him involved with showing goats “and it’s still fun to mess around with goats and rabbits and getting them trained to walk,” he said after showing in the last two fairs. This year’s camp - $35 for the three days - will have a “lot of hands-on,” said St. Amand, 54, who has been teaching Cloverbud camps for the last six years. “Each day they will visit a different component of the fair and participate in different activities,” she said. “For example, on Monday morning they will go

On Tuesday the focus will be on horses used in harness racing and on the third day a visit to the livestock barns will include senior 4-Hers who are showing at the fair to talk about what it takes to raise an animal and take it to the fair to be judged.

They can entice the kids to join 4-H and eventually show an animal at the fair.” “That’s kind of the reason we do these,” St. Amand said. “Capture their interest while they are young, sign them up and get them involved. We usually get one or two. It’s really impressive to see them later with communication skills and leadership.”
