A look inside judging...

25 contestants and 3 judges met yesterday for the Hancock County 4-H Fair Queen Pageant.  Judging began at 9 am and ended around 1:30.  Throughout the day girls were interviewed for at least 3 minutes and judged on their modeling skills in both the business wear and formal wear.  The stress was over at the end of the day with a quick photo session outside thanks to Dawn Wallace with The Photography Barn!

Here's a look inside judging day at our beautiful 25 contestants....
