Trenton resident Sadie Roy was crowned the 2017 North Central Missouri Fair Queen during coronation ceremonies on Tuesday night.
Miss Roy, a 2016 graduate of Trenton High School, will represent the fair at the 2018 Missouri State Fair Queen competition at Sedalia next year. She was crowned as the local queen by 2016 NCM Fair Queen Claire Stuedel.
As the 2017 fair queen, Miss Roy will reign over the remaining week’s activities. For being named the winner, she received a $300 scholarship (she attends Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau), a tiara, a sash and flower bouquet and will have her entry paid to compete in the 2018 Missouri State Fair Queen Pageant.
Miss Stuedel, meanwhile, will be representing the NCM Fair at the State Fair Queen competition later this month.
