GREENE COUNTY FAIR QUEENS
Each year, a fair queen is selected to reign over all contests and events related to the fair. She is the fair's ambassador at special events and represents the fair in area parades. The Greene County Fair Queen is expected to represent the fair with pride and dignity, and to exhibit the highest of principles at all times. The 2011 Miss Greene County Fair also earns the privilege of competing in the Pennsylvania State Fair Queen Pageant in Hershey in January 2012.
