King & Queen Crowning – Tri-Rivers Fair

👑 4-H King & Queen Crowning

A Royal Tradition at the Tri-Rivers Fair

Step into Fairadise and witness a tradition unlike any other — the crowning of the Tri-Rivers Fair 4-H King and Queen! This cherished event celebrates the leadership, character, and commitment of our outstanding 4-H members.

Each year, local clubs nominate their top candidates who exemplify what it means to be a role model in 4-H. These individuals are judged not only on their involvement and service but also on the way they represent the spirit of the fair and our community.

🌟 Crowning takes place before the official start of the Fair!
