The Rodeo Queen Pageant will be Oct. 13, 2024. Contestants will be judged on personal interview, horsemanship, modeling, speech presentation and impromptu questions.

The 2024-2025 queen will be presented with a variety of awards, sponsored items and royalty accessories to be worn during the year of her reign. She will participate in a year of community events, public speaking, parades, luncheons and rodeos while serving as a goodwill ambassador for the Chelan County Fair and Rodeo.

The rodeo queen does not replace the Chelan County Fair Ambassador program. Ambassadors are local young people who represent the fair at speaking engagements prior to and during the annual fair. The rodeo queen and fair ambassador will work alongside one another, promoting the fair and rodeo.
