Fair Royalty: Highlights from the Howard County 4-H Pageants


The pageant stage at the Howard County 4-H Fair is always full of excitement, nerves, and plenty of proud moments and this year’s competitions were no exception. Our team from The Kokomo Post was there to capture all the smiles, sparkling crowns, and special memories from one of the most anticipated traditions of fair week.
This year’s lineup included the Little Miss Pageant, the Miss Howard County Queen Pageant, and the Miss Howard County Junior Pageant with the official crowning ceremony.
From the tiniest contestants in the Little Miss Pageant charming the crowd to the poise and grace of those competing for the Miss Howard County titles, every participant brought their own personality to the stage. The pageants aren’t just about crowns, they’re about leadership, community pride, and recognizing the hardworking young women who represent Howard County.
We captured some of the sweetest, proudest, and most memorable moments from the shows, from stage walks and interviews to the crowning of this year’s fair royalty. Scroll through the gallery below to see all the highlights.
