A new royal court has been crowned as the 30th Annual Warren County Agricultural Fair Queen Pageant was held this past Saturday evening to kick off the 2024 fair week. Monmouth-Roseville alum and current Monmouth College student McKinley Rexroat was crowned the 2024 Miss Warren County and shares her court and what she is looking forward to at the fair:
“I am really looking forward to just seeing the whole community at all of these events, the livestock shows, as well as bull riding and derbies. I think that will be so much fun and I think we are all just going to enjoy it, especially with my court; Riley Horner is my 2nd Runner up and Sydney Emerick is my 1st Runner up. I love those girls so much. They were such a big support system throughout the whole pageant and all of the girls that competed really just made the experience that much better.”
Rexroat was also awarded Miss Congeniality while Carlin Sears was Miss Photogenic and Mia Reynolds received the Director’s Award. The 2024 Junior Miss Warren County went to 12 year old Kenna Tatman, who shares her experience from the pageant:
“For coronation we all got out on stage an I did not think that I was going to win. Once they didn’t say my name for any of the places, then when they called my name, I just started bawling. I could not believe it, it was just truly like a shock to me. For Junior Miss we say a speech and then we say our introduction, and we just walk and look pretty. My speech was about finding your core values.”
1st Runner up for the 2024 Junior Miss Warren County Court was awarded to Ada Kunkle, 2nd Runner Up Hayven Rundle, and 3rd Runner Up was Elle Shawler. Miss Photogenic was Kennedy Kane, Miss Congeniality Brenna Olson, and the Director’s Award recipient was Ella French. Meanwhile, the 2024 Little Miss Warren County was first time pageant participant Harper Grant, who attends ICS:
“It was a great experience to try the pageant because it was my first time doing it, so I did not believe that I won. I went up and introduced myself and then I did my walk and they asked me my pop question, what animal would you have if you wanted one; a hamster. If it was a girl Hannah and if it was a boy Bob.”
The 1st Runner up for the Little Miss Court was Charley Chandler, 2nd Runner up Chesney Flatt, 3rd Runner up Presley Stevenson, and 4th Runner Up was Carrigan Stockdale, who was also Miss Photogenic. Alexa Moulden received the Director’s Award.
