The 66th annual Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant will be held Thursday, Jan. 15 through Sunday, Jan. 18, at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield. The pageant will be held in conjunction with the 115th Illinois Association of Agriculture Fairs annual convention.
Kelsey Moore, 2025 Miss Moultrie-Douglas, will compete for the title of 2026 Miss Illinois County Fair Queen along with 75 other young ladies vying for the title this year. Her interview portion will be held on Friday, Jan. 16. Moore’s preliminary will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 17. Preliminaries consist of speech, swimsuit, and evening gown.
The finals will take place on Sunday evening as the top 16 will be announced and the non-finalists will be recognized at that time. The top 16 finalists will start over with all four categories along with answering three pop questions on stage, and a new queen will then be crowned.
The reigning Miss Illinois County Fair Queen is Johnna Fulcher of Jacksonville. She represented Henry County at the annual pageant held January 2025. As the 65th Miss Illinois County Fair Queen, Miss Fulcher was the official hostess of the Illinois and DuQuoin State Fairs.
