✨ It’s pageant day! 👑 We can’t wait to welcome all of our contestants to the Ballard County Fair Pageants tonight!

📍Please note: due to weather, all pageants will be held indoors at the American Legion Post #3 LaCenter Ky at the fairgrounds.

We’re looking forward to a great night and can’t wait to see everyone! 🩷

We know there are several pageants happening this weekend, but if you’re still trying to decide where to compete, we’d absolutely love for you to give McCracken a chance! 💙

Right now, our Ms. division has just one contestant, and our Mrs. division has only three. We’d love to see these divisions grow and keep them thriving!

Registration is open online through tomorrow at 11:59 PM. The link is in our bio, and I’ve linked it below as well. If you miss the online deadline, you can still register at the door on pageant day!

We’ve also posted the full timeline and schedule on our page if you have any questions.

We hope to see some of y’all on Saturday! ✨💕
