Fair Queen

On Monday night, August 5, 2024 Jolynn Durlin was crowned the 2024 Warren County Fair Queen with Alexis Stec named 1st Runner Up, and Addison Wentworth, Junior Miss. Tristen Gates was crowned the first Warren County Fair Princess.

Every year young ladies from around Warren County compete for their chance to represent the Warren County Fair as Fair Queen.  Once crowned, they go on to compete for the title of Pennsylvania State Fair Queen.  The experience includes access to practically everything at the Fair, the opportunity to congratulate and present awards around the fairgrounds, meet tons of people, travel around the state, and participate in many promotional experiences for the fair throughout the year.
