Special guests filling the time
between the various sections
of the competition included
this year’s queens, jr. misses,
and little misses from several
different Illinois counties and
several former Logan County
Fair Queens.
These queens represented a
range of years that went all the
way back to 1941, with some
citing the great opportunity
being queen represents and the
vivid memories they have of
that time.
Before this year’s queen was
crowned, outgoing queen
Alyssa Morris gave a teary
eyed farewell speech referring
to many wonderful memories
and stories, stepping out of
her comfort zone, and being
honored to represent Logan
County at the various festivals,
events, and at the Illinois State
pageant.
She thanked the fair board, the
pageant directors, Dean Bruns,
Little Miss Chloe, and most
importantly her parents for all
they did to help her.
After the interlude, the judges
decisions were announced.
Lizzie Ford was crowned Miss
Logan County Fair 2015 and
Preslee Sherren was chosen
as the new Little Miss Logan
County.
Other awards for the queen
contest were presented to Lizzi
Herzog, first runner up; Abby
Cline, second runner up and
most raffle tickets sold; May
Hudspeth, Miss Congeniality;
and Ashton Wakeman, crowd’s

Bowman, first runner up; Araya

Queen Lizzie Ford is the
daughter of Kelby and Angie
Ford and will be a senior at
Mount Pulaski High school
this year. She plans to major

part of her school’s soccer
and basketball teams, has
participated in leadership
conferences, and recently

Little Miss Preslee Sherren
is the daughter of Robert and
Alison Sherren of New Holland.
Queen Ford, joined by Little
Miss Sherren, will reign over
the Logan County Fair attending
many events and presentations
during the remainder of the
fair. They will represent Logan

during the year and Ford will
also compete in January for the
title of Miss Illinois County
Fair.
The experiences they have
will undoubtedly provide great
memories for years to come just
as former queens report. 2003
Queen Katherine Rehberg says
attending the fair every single
day, passing out the ribbons at
the 4-H events, having little kids
come up to take their photo with
you, and representing the county
at the state contest are some of
the best parts of being queen.
