The DeKalb County Fair Fall Festival is accepting entries for nine pageants to be held Saturday, October 31 starting at 10:30 a.m. at the Lions Club Pavilion on the fairgrounds in Alexandria.
The entry fee is $25 per contestant. The deadline to enter is October 24 and no late entries will be accepted. Participants must be residents of DeKalb County. Each pageant will award King/Queen and a first and second runner-up along with a Most Photogenic award. To participate in this category attach a photo with your entry. The Fairest of the Fair winner will not attend a State pageant to represent DeKalb County because this year’s state pageant has been canceled.
