The Illinois State Fair Queen Pageant is taking place in January 2026. Meet Henderson County Fair Queen Natalie Boyd.
“Hey everyone! My name is Natalie Boyd, and I am deeply honored to represent Henderson County as Contestant #11 this January. I am 20 years old and currently attending Illinois State University as a sophomore, pursuing a degree in Mass Media with a minor in Business Administration. When I graduate in May 2028, I look forward to building a career in media broadcasting or marketing/sales.
A little fun fact about me, I love thrifting and can never resist a great deal! This gorgeous teal dress I’m wearing was actually a thrift find from my local shop.
One of the most meaningful highlights of my year as Queen so far has been supporting The Out of the Darkness Foundation in partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The Henderson County Queens proudly raised over $500 in support of suicide awareness and mental wellness. It was an incredible honor to have my Little Miss and Junior Miss walk beside me as we contributed to such an important cause, promoting the value of prioritizing mental health and overall well-being.”
