Moody,
King named Junior Fair King and Queen
By Bob Robinson
GREENVILLE – Jenna King has been named Junior Fair Queen and Logan
Moody Junior Fair King at the 2013 Darke County Junior Fair Pageant
held at St. Claire Memorial Hall July 16. King was sponsored by Top
Notch 4-H Club and Moody by Buckeye Buckaroos 4-H Club.
The members of their court are First Runner Up King and Queen Joe
Schmitz, Mississinawa Valley FFA, and Lizzie Hart, Fun Bunch 4-H Club;
Second Runner Up King and Queen Dylan Hesson, Versailles FFA, and
Brooklyn Baker, Junior Fair Board; and Third Runner Up King and Queen
Cody Fourman, Junior Fair Board, and Maddy Buscher, Versailles FFA.
“Pretty awesome,” was all Queen Jenna could say afterward. She
acknowledged that the coming year was going to be a lot of work but
that she was looking forward to it.
King Logan said he was shocked.
“I didn’t expect it,” he said. He added he knew he had some big shoes
to fill the coming year, referring to 2012 Junior Fair King Lucas King.
Lucas said it was kind of a relief, but at the same time sadness that
it’s over. He had said earlier it took him 11 months to really get
comfortable and know what he was doing… now it’s almost done.
Kelsey Burchett, 2012 Junior Fair Queen, said it was sad.
“Sad to be giving this up,” she said. “I’m done with 4H, now I’m done
with this… totally done.”
Lucas said he would still be involved to some extent.
“My sister (Jenna) is the new Junior Fair Queen; my brother was First
Runner Up last year.”
Queen contestants responded to the question, “Would you rather be liked
or respected?” All contestants said respected. Jenna had said that
respect is looking up to and honoring you.
The King contestants responded to the question, “Will the world be a
better place 100 years from now?” All contestants said yes. Logan noted
there will be better technology, but added that “our generation will
step up and be good role models to future generations.”
The 2012 and 2013 royal couples will be in the Annie Oakley Parade on
July 27. After that the new king and queen will be on their own with
parades and county fair visits throughout the summer and continued
events the remainder of their term.
There were 26 candidates participating in the pageant. Additional King
candidates were Addison Bashore, Anthony Ditmer and Thomas Shaw.
Additional Queen candidates were Jessalyn Besecker, Michaela Colby,
Macy Dirksen, Catey Fischer, Magdalena Jenkinson, Jenna Cline, Aubrey
Kreusch, Jalena LeMaster, Makinzi Marker, Rachel Osterloh, Emily
Vanhorn and Emily Walters.
