Hooker County Fair Kings & Queens

The honor of the Hooker County Fair King and Queen has been a fair tradition since 1987. Prior to 1987, a Hooker County Fair Queen and Princess were named after a queen contest that took place with competitions such as speech, style show and sitting down to a fancy meal.
