Honoring Milestone Queens
Each year during our Miss Boone County Fair Queen Program, we proudly recognize the legacy of those who came before.

On the night of the event, we celebrate former queens marking milestone anniversaries—5, 10, 15 years and beyond—since their crowning. These women represent the heart of our tradition, and their continued presence inspires the next generation.

A Look Back at Crowning Moments and Parade Traditions
For more than six decades, our Miss Boone County Fair Queens have marked their reigns with moments of pride, poise, and celebration.

From the thrill of being crowned to the joy of representing Boone County in parades, these photos capture the spirit and tradition that define our program. Each image tells a story—of achievement, community pride, and the timeless excitement of the fair.

These aren’t just snapshots—they’re milestones in the legacy of leadership that continues to inspire each new generation of queens.
