Can I be in the pageant (and possibly win) and still thrive in school and have a job? YES. πŸ™ŒπŸ»

We have had queens in high school, out of state at college, in state at college, have 1 job, many jobs... and they were all GREAT QUEENS.

Your education is ALWAYS priority. We schedule events around YOU. The best part about being queen, it's your year and you get to decide what you do with it! If you're on the fence about competing this year, reach out! I would love to answer any questions!

As we reflect back on the 2025 Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant we once again want to mention how proud of Queen Maggie we are! She was stunning on the stage and I know she will carry what she learned throughout this process to become successful in the next step of her life.

A big thank you to "Team Maggie" who voted and showed their support through the People's Choice competition. Because she won, she got to choose a charity or foundation to donate $500 to.

Maggie chose to donate the $500 to Channeling Hope Foundation. The mission of CHF is to connect families of ultra-rare NALCN genetic disorders and raise money for research and treatment therapy. Maggie's cousin Rory was diagnosed with a CLIFAHDD, which is a NALCN genetic disorder. Maggie chose this foundation in hopes of bringing awareness to CHF’s mission, as well as the donation will go toward rare genetic disease research funding.

We hope this gift can play a small part in helping others. We encourage you to read more about it here: Channeling Hope Foundation

And thank you to Miss Illinois County Fair Pageant for using the People's Choice award to make a difference in our communities. 🫢🏼
