They also present a speech and participate in a personal interview.
Winners are granted a scholarship of $1,250, and runners-up receive a $500 scholarship and are required to be present at the fair throughout the week. Miss Tranquility and Lord Calvert may also represent the county at other events throughout the year, so chances are this won’t be the last time you see them.
