Three different groups competed for the titles of Little Miss, Junior Miss and Miss Stark County Fair.
The Little Miss contestants showed off their party dress and play wear and were given an opportunity to answer a question, in front of the crowd, for the judges. Retiring Queen Bethany Stapel asked each contestant, “If you were a cartoon character, which one would you be and why?”
