This Tennessee Pageant Queen Has an Unexpected Talent
Can't you smell the funnel cake? It's county fair season, which means it's officially time for dusty midways, food-on-a-stick, and the crowning of small-town beauty queens. But this time, there's a charming country twist. On Monday night, at the Dyer County Fair in Dyersburg, Tennessee, 15-year-old Reagan Ross took home the coveted title of the Junior Fairest of the Fair.
But instead of sleeping in the next day or reveling in her rhinestones, she got to work. Reagan, a sophomore at Dyer County High School, is also a member of the Future Farmers of America (her grandfather, now retired, was a longtime FFA teacher). In what sounds like a pig-ment of our imagination, as part of her FFA obligations, she was scheduled to show her pig, Stinker Bell, the very next morning.
And she did it all while sporting her sash and crown, naturally. (Stinker Bell took home bragging rights, too, with a 2nd place ribbon.) We're admittedly smitten with this stage-to-sty story, which is apparently a sequel. That's right: When Reagan was in 4th grade, she also took home the pageant title, and proceeded to show off her pig.
It's like a real-life fairytale that wrote itself!
