About This Event
The fair festivities begin with the Southeast Kentucky Fair pageants. Contestants compete in multiple age divisions for the title of Fair Queen, with judging on poise, interview, and community involvement. Winners serve as ambassadors throughout fair week.
Contestants compete across multiple age divisions, from the youngest miss divisions through the senior Fair Queen title.
Judging is based on poise, personal interview, and community involvement — not just stage presence.
The newly crowned Fair Queen serves as the fair's official ambassador all week, appearing at opening ceremonies, livestock shows, and community events throughout the year.
