Other candidates for Miss BCFA included Abby Day, representing Brownwood FFA and Cheyenne Edwards with Bangs FFA. Each contestant was escorted into the sale arena by their fathers.
The first runner up was Abby Day, who will receive a $1750 scholarship from the BCFA. Second runner up was Cheyenne Edwards, who will also receive a scholarship of $1500. Each of these runner ups were presented a plaque and were also given various gifts from local merchants.
These girls worked hard to prove themselves on five levels: BCYFA Membership Sales, Poise & Appearance, Personality, Public Speaking, and their participation in the Youth Fair.
Membership sales by the Youth Fair Queen competition is the main fundraiser for the Brown County Fair Association and proceeds benefit the upkeep of facilities and enhancement of the premium sale. Memberships were sold for $20/family and also entitled member families to eat free at the annual barbeque that is held during Rodeo Week in June. This year had another record breaking number of memberships.
