Jr. Fair king and queen deadline Friday

VW County Junior Fair news

The Coronation Committee is still accepting candidates for Junior Fair king and queen to serve during the 2013 edition of the Van Wert County Fair. The new Junior Fair king and queen would be chosen to be ambassadors, not only to the Junior Fair but also to the entire Van Wert County Fair.

Candidates must be 16 years of age and  have an open schedule throughout the fair to perform special duties, such as handing out awards and trophies, giving radio interviews, and making special appearances. Any Van Wert County youngster meeting those qualifications may apply.

Applications are due in to the Van Wert County OSU Extension Office by this Friday, July 19. Applications may be picked up from club advisors or at the OSU Extension Office.

The coronation will be held on Wednesday, August 28, at 5:30 p.m. Preliminary Judging will be held on Tuesday, August 13, and a schedule will be provided to potential candidates at a later date. Interviews will start at 6 p.m.

Any questions may be directed to the OSU Extension Office at 419.238.1214.
