Albert County Exhibition Queen Pageant History

Picture
The Queen Pageant has been a cherished fair tradition since 1962, when the first “Miss Albert County” or “Queen of the A.C.E.” was crowned. Not only does the Pageant bring a youthful spirit and excitement to the fair's program each year, but it also provides a rewarding and memorable experience for the participants. During last year's 100th anniversary celebrations, the “Royalty Reunion” of former A.C.E. Queens was a special highlight. Let's continue to celebrate the community spirit and the happy memories generated by the Queen Pageant for over 50 years!
