HIGHLAND - The Madison County Fair Pageant had definite flair and style with crowns this year going to Gillespie’s Emily Harszy and East Alton’s Mackenzie Garland taking home top honors.
Harszy, a Lewis and Clark Community College student, was Miss Madison County and Garland was Junior Miss Madison County.
Madison County Fair Pageant Director Diane Tye praised the emcees for the event – Ann Marie Conley of Highland and Phil McDowell of Staunton - for their superb efforts in keeping the afternoon interesting throughout. Conley was a 2010 Miss Madison County.
Tye was pleased with the attendance and said she thought there were a bunch of outstanding girls competing for the titles.
“It is interesting to watch how much the queens develop over the year,” she said. “That is one of the main reasons I do what I do.”
