This past weekend, the Fair Queen coronation was held at the Whiteneyville Fairgrounds. Seven competitors, along with their families, enjoyed a meal together before the ceremony began. Each contestant was required to turn in an essay about what the fair means to the community and give a speech expressing why the community should come to the fair. They were also given a question and asked to reflect upon it on the spot. This year’s discussion was, “What are the positives and negatives of social media?”

Last year’s queen, Corrine Evans, gave an address – encouraging this year’s contestants to make many memories during this experience. The coronations began following Miss Evan’s speech. Mikaileigh Baker was chosen as this year’s Miss Congeniality. The title of 2014 Tioga County Fair Queen second alternate was given to Christine Kennedy, followed by the first alternate, Victoria Sepiol. Finally, the crown of Fair Queen was bestowed upon Anna Copp.

Congratulations to all the competitors who participated in this ceremony. Remember, the Tioga County Fair is running right now and continues to the end of the week! Don’t miss out! We’ll have more excitement from the fair coming to you soon.
