The tractor pull at the Grandstand is tonight’s main event at 7 p.m.
The Miss Teen and Miss Prince William County Fair Pageant begins at 6 p.m. Tonight’s beauty competition marks a return of the “Miss” pageant, something the fair has not seen in 30 years.
In 1987, the Prince William County Fair crowned its first black queen.
“I was in high school, and the thing I remember is them messing up my music on the talent portion. So I was out there in my pose for the longest time, and they were like, ‘Stephanie, just relax. We’ll let you know when we’re ready.’ Everybody’s looking at me, and I was terrified,” said Dr. Stepahnie Streat of Prince William County.
Several new contests and a country music headliner are coming to the Prince William County Fair.
The 72nd annual fair will return to the Prince William County Fairgrounds from August 12 to 20, 2022.
