29 Jun 2026 Conway County Fair Pageant and Talent Show taking entries

MORRILTON — The Conway County Fair Board has announced dates for the 2026 Conway County Fair Talent Showdown and Fair Pageant. The pageant will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22, and the talent show is set for 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22. Both events will take place at the Morrilton High School H.B. White Auditorium.

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

Winners of the talent show will receive a cash prize and will 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 scholarships and programs for Conway County youth.

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

The full list of rules, eligibility requirements and registration forms for both events is available at conwaycountyfair.com. The deadline for entering either event is August 14. For more information, contact the pageant and talent committee at [email protected].
