Park County Fair Board adjusts royalty ages and appoints Mya as 2026 queen
Summary
The board updated royalty age rules to align with National Western Stock Show eligibility and voted to place Mya in the 2026 queen position, allowing her to re-compete next year; the motion passed during the April 27 meeting.
The Park County Fair Board discussed updates to the fair’s royalty program and moved to appoint Mya as the 2026 queen.
Tara Zuber told the board a new royalty email was created and reported plans for a royalty clinic on May 3 and a pageant scheduled for July 5. Tara described changes to age requirements citing alignment with National Western Stock Show eligibility; the minutes include inconsistent wording but record that junior-princess and queen age limits were updated. After receiving a text from Mya explaining why she should be queen (Mya was unable to attend in person due to an FFA judging event), Coix Gemmer moved to place Mya in the queen spot and to allow her to try again next year; Grant Kirklin seconded the motion and the board voted in favor.
Tara also reported parade maps and banner orders are in place and that the website received updates from Stacey. The board asked Tara to double-check queen items returned from prior years.
Minutes show procedural decisions to align royalty ages with outside eligibility rules but contain inconsistent phrasing about exact age thresholds; the board did not provide a separate written clarifying amendment at the meeting, and the minutes indicate the board will proceed with the updated ages as recorded.
