Yesterday our Little Miss Queen Ivory presented to her 4H group on what it means to be a Little Miss Ox Roast Queen. It is amazing seeing her love for this program and her fellow royalty friends and family.

Today Syndi, Emma, and Nora traveled to New Straitsville for the Moonshine Festival. On the drive down, we were all a little worried about making it there with all of the rain Ohio has had this Memorial Day weekend — but thankfully, we made it safely! (After all, is it really Memorial Day weekend without rain? ☔)

The girls enjoyed a delicious meal of pulled chicken or pork with potatoes, along with a yummy cake for dessert. They were also excited to reunite with some of their queen friends they had not seen since winter break.

Following the luncheon, the visiting royalty had the opportunity to tour the festival grounds and enjoy everything the festival had to offer.

Thank you to outgoing Moonshine Queen Courtney for inviting our girls and for such a fun day. And a huge congratulations to our royalty friend and newly crowned Moonshine Queen Ginger! We cannot wait to begin traveling with you again this season. 💜👑

Today our girls traveled to Chillicothe for the Feast of the Flowering Moon festival. The girls enjoyed watching a Native American dance, exploring the festival grounds, and taking in the beauty of nature throughout the day.

Thankfully, the weather held off, allowing the girls to participate in the grand parade. Even with all of the construction happening throughout Chillicothe, everyone still had an amazing time during the parade, smiling and waving to the crowd along the route.

Thank you to the Feast of the Flowering Moon committee for hosting such a wonderful event and for inviting our royalty to take part in your special day! 💜👑

Yesterday, Syndi, Emma, and Nora traveled to McArthur for the Wild Turkey Festival. Since the girls had not traveled since December, it was exciting to jump back into festival season, reconnect with their queen friends, meet new royalty, and of course enjoy some delicious festival food.

The luncheon is always a fan favorite among visiting royalty thanks to the delicious meal and the special guest that follows each year — a hypnotist! Emma and Nora both participated, and let’s just say they had everyone laughing. The funniest part? They do not remember a thing!

Thank you to the Wild Turkey Festival for inviting our royalty to your fun luncheon and festival. We would also like to congratulate Queen Maddi and her court on an amazing year. Congratulations as well to the newly crowned royalty — our girls look forward to meeting you and traveling with you throughout the upcoming festival season!

As we previously shared, our Sweetheart Queen, Kida, is participating in the Miss Ohio Hearts of Ohio Program—and today brought an extra special moment! 💕

She was officially paired with her “Big,” who is a former Blueberry Queen and currently holds the title of Miss South Central Teen, Addison.

She also got to meet the current Miss Ohio Teen Ali Payton.

We are beyond excited to cheer on Kida as she takes part in all the fun and festivities during her week at Miss Ohio in June. Be sure to join us in wishing her the best of luck! 👑✨
