Avoiding the social media pitfalls to choosing the right fork were part of the Fort Bend County Fair’s Queen Enrichment Day. The 2019 Fair Queen Candidates and 2018 Fair Queen Hannah Hunt participated at the 3rd Annual event hosted by the Fort Bend County Fair Queen Scholarship Committee. The day started with a group workshop on interview techniques and social media safe practices. Breakout sessions soon followed with public speaking exercises, make-up tutorials, fashion tips, etiquette enhancement, nutrition/well-being discussion, and hair 101.



Later, candidates attended an afternoon at a Kentucky Derby themed dinner held at the Ol’ Railroad Café. Hats, heels, and a delicious meal allowed the candidates to practice what they learned in the morning workshops.  Fort Bend County Fair President Marjie Pollard, Queen Scholarship Committee members, several past fair queens, Fair Manager, Cindy Schmidt, and Fair Board Member, Vickie Todd Autrey, all attended the social event with the candidates. The young ladies vying to be Fair Queen represent several high schools within Fort Bend County.

Zelda Sosa of Mighty Moose, Charles Gilbert of Fort Bend Impact, Ammi Miller of the Retreat Boutique Salon and Day Spa, January Lincoln of Rustic Closet Boutique, and Bill and Barbara Robertson with Magana Media presented at the workshop. A business-based etiquette instruction was presented by President Pollard to help lay the foundation for future college or career situations.


The Queen contestants receive scholarships and prizes as part of the competition. The 2019 Fort Bend County Fair Queen will be crowned on September 27, 2019. For more information visit fortbendcountyfair.com or call the Fair Office at 281-342-6171.
