30 Jun 2025 Conway County Fair Pageant and Talent Show taking entries

MORRILTON, AR – The Conway County Fair Board announces dates for the 2025 Conway County Fair Talent Showdown and Fair Pageant. The talent show is set for 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 21, and the pageant will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 23. Both events will be held at the Rialto Community Arts Center in downtown Morrilton.

The Fair Pageant is open to youth outside of the county for ages 0-13. Only Conway County residents may compete for the Junior and Senior Queen titles (ages 14-23).

The purpose of the Conway County Fair Talent Showdown and Pageant is to discover, develop and encourage talent in our community. Both events provide a platform for youth in the county to shine brightly and build self-esteem. 

Talent participants must be residents of Conway County. Winners of the talent show will receive a cash prize and advance to represent Conway County at the Arkansas State Fair. Fair queens also win cash prizes, scholarships, and the chance to compete for the Arkansas State Fair Queen title.

Proceeds from both events go back into the Conway County Fair to continue to provide programs for Conway County youth.

The full list of rules, eligibility requirements, and registration forms for both events is available now at conwaycountyfair.com. The deadline to enter either event is Aug. 15. For more information, contact the pageant and talent committee at conwaycofair@gmail.com.
