Macoupin County Fair Pageant Largest In Area
The winners were as follows:
- Miss Macoupin County Fair Queen - Anni Ibberson
- Junior Miss Macoupin County Fair Queen - Ryleigh Hunt
- Little Miss Macoupin County - Molly Carriker
Macoupin County Fair Pageant Director Hilary Lunt said there were 19 Little Miss and 13 Junior Miss contestants competing for the crowns. The Macoupin County Fair is one of the oldest in the country as this is its 166 year. Lunt said the fair queens will be visible at all the closing events with the fair and on site each night until the end. Lunt is a former fair pageant queen.
Lint said the queens will also be visible in the region after the fair ends, but much of that depends on their schedules. The fair pageant winner will compete for the Illinois State queen honor, she said.
“We are the oldest county fair in Illinois,” she said. “The fair here took a few breaks during a war period. We have a great fair board and great community.”
