Miss Moultrie-Douglas County Fair Queen Gaby Uphoff will be one of 71 young ladies competing for the Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Title at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Springfield the weekend of January 15-17.

Uphoff’s interview portion will be held Friday.  Her preliminary—which consists of speech, swimsuit, and evening gown--will be at 1 p.m. Saturday.

The public is invited to attend, and the tickets may be purchased at the door. Finals will be held at 4 p.m. Sunday. At that time the top 15 will be announced and the non-finalists recognized.

The top 15 will then start over with all four categories along with answering three pop questions on stage.  Tickets for the final portion had to have been purchased in advance. Those interested in attending may contact Sandy Hoke at 217-253-2377.
