It's always an exciting night when the Boone County Fair rolls around. The Queen Pageant is always beautiful, tense, stressful, and a highlight for all. Here's my point of view as if you were hosting the night.

From the podium, the ladies arrive via limo and the nerves are high. The Little Miss Gals are so cute, they steal your heart.

The Miss Boone County Fair Queen Contestants are likewise beautiful and watch the Little Miss Gals like proud sisters.

Here's 'Lil Zim' from Q98.5 at the mic as I watch from behind. I have to admit, it's wild sharing the spotlight every time.

The moment of truth is always a nervous time. First, the winner of the Little Miss Boone County Fair is Kenzi Lusz.

It has always been a pleasure of mine to be a part of such a great fair. Thank you Boone County for letting me share the spotlight with my morning show partner, Shannon Zimmerman and your royalty.
