Dexter, Missouri – The 86th Annual Stoddard County Fair got off to a strong start Tuesday evening with the parade in downtown Dexter and the crowning of fair royalty.  Both of which drew large crowds!

The 2013 Miss Stoddard County Fair Queen is Miss Taylor Owens!  Taylor is the daughter of Ken and Shannon Owens.

The newly crowned Miss Taylor Owens got right to work at the fair.  She presented ribbons, trophies, and attended many activities that were held at the fairgrounds including the Demo Derby on Saturday night.  She assisted with the SCF Children’s Pageant on Saturday morning as well.

The 2013 Stoddard County Fair Queen also received a $150 cash prize along with her crown, trophy, sash, and flowers.

What an amazing night for all of these young ladies.  Congratulations Taylor!
