It’s been an eventful two years for Aubrey Killey and Hayven Rundle, the reigning 2019 Warren County Fair Junior Miss and Little Miss, who have worn their respective crowns 12 months longer than most county fair pageant winners.
“It’s been a real fun experience,” Killey said. “Most girls don’t get to have the fun experience for a year, but luckily my Queen, Sydney, and Little Miss, Hayven, have had a good opportunity and a lot of fun these past two years representing Warren County.”
Over the past two years Little Miss Hayven has, at times, felt like a mini celebrity.
“Lots of people talk about it, and you kind of feel like you’re famous about it,” Rundle said. “Other times, it just feels like you’re not.”
A total of 37 Warren County contestants will participate in this year’s pageant: 14 in the Little Miss, 10 in the Junior Miss, and 13 in the Queen contest.
The 2021 Warren County Agricultural Fair opens with the 27th annual Queen Pageant at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, July 17, at Eldridge Park in Roseville. For a complete schedule of events, visit the Fair’s Facebook page or click www.ilwcf.com.
