Fourteen Lampeter-Strasburg High School students will vie for the title of West Lampeter Fair Queen during a contest on the Fair’s opening night. The candidates, chosen as representatives of the school’s extracurricular clubs, will compete in two rounds of questions before judges select five finalists for a final round. The public competition follows interviews conducted earlier in the day. The winner and alternate will be crowned by 2024 West Lampeter Fair Queen Ava Immel—who advanced to become the 2025 PA State Fair Queen—and 2024 alternate Mackenzie Westerlund. Both Ava and Mackenzie are 2025 L-S graduates.

On Wednesday, September 24, festivities will begin with a parade departing from the high school at 7 p.m. and proceeding to the fairgrounds via Village Road. The contest will start promptly at 7:30 p.m. We wish the best of luck to all of this year’s candidates!
