FAIR Contest rules The Brown County Fair Queen Contest is open to girls between the ages of 16 and 20.

The queen will be chosen at the fair Sunday, July 29 at 8 p.m. in the Pavilion on the fairgrounds.

For more information about the competition, contact Debbie Larsh at or (812) 720-1151 or deborah.larsh@yahoo.com.

Forms can be picked up and dropped off at the Brown County Purdue Extension Office at the fairgrounds.

Each contestant must be at least 16 and cannot have had her 21st birthday as of Aug. 19, the first day of the Indiana State Fair Queen Pageant.

Contestants must be residents of Brown County. Each contestant must be an active member of at least one organization in her community, such as church group, 4-H, Scouts, etc.

It is the responsibility of each contestant to obtain her own sponsor. Sponsor fees are $50 and will be used to defray the expenses of the pageant.

The 2012 Brown County Fair queen, first and second runners-up and other contestants are expected to be present and assist throughout the fair.

No professional model is eligible. (A professional model is one who earns her livelihood by modeling.) A contestant who has had training or schooling in the modeling field, has been paid on occasion for modeling, or works for a fashion board is not considered a professional model.

(Contestants for the state fair queen contest must be unmarried and must never have been married, they may not have children or knowingly be pregnant at the time of the state fair pageant).

If the winner does not meet eligibility requirements, then the first runner-up will represent Brown County at the state fair pageant.

Contestants will conduct themselves in a courteous, respectful manner, exhibit good sportsmanship, and demonstrate reasonable conflict management skills.
