The 2025 Warren County Prime Beef Festival kicks off this Saturday, August 30th with the Princess Pageant at The Crossing Church in Monmouth beginning at 7 pm. Director Mackenzie Schleich shares the ten young ladies vying for the crown:
“We have a great group of girls this year. Contestant Number 1 is Abbey Hood, Contestant Number 2 is Chloe Kelly, Number 3 is Atziri Vazquez, Number 4 is Brenda Velasquez Raygoza, Number 5 is Ella McGinity, Number 6 is Lillian Mahoney, Number 7 is Annaliese Walters-Kramer, Number 8 is Rose Leary, Number 9 is Alesia Kidd, and Number 10 is Vivian Liar. Then of course, our 2024 Princess, Lucy Parkins, she has been absolutely amazing this last year, we are so thankful to have her, and so she will get to grace the stage for her final appearance as well,” Schleich states.
“We do have some physical tickets available, however, if we are completely sold out, we have a lovely virtual pageant, which is streamed on Zoom. That is posted on our Facebook and tickets to that can be purchased right through the link there and you can Zoom in to watch,” adds Schleich.
Following the Princess Pageant, the Warren County Prime Beef Festival, Feeding the Future: Ag Transformed Through Tech, runs Monday, September 1st through Saturday, September 6th.
