Since 1949, the Kendall County Fair Queen's Court has been a special part of the fair, with generations of young women having the opportunity to represent the Kendall County Fair Association and the community.

Twelve young ladies are competing for the title of Miss Kendall County and for positions on the Queen's Court.

The queen and her court will be chosen Thursday at the Kendall County Fairgrounds, as the pageant gets underway at 6:30 p.m. Four young women who hold hopes of becoming the next Miss Kendall Counthy are Courtney Curry, Eleri Tarrant, Ellie Higgins and Trinitee Smith.
