A Local Feel to the Miss Illinois County Fair Pageant
There is definitely a local feel to the list of winners in this year's Miss Illinois County Fair Pageant.

Pageant officials say Miss Henry County Fair has been named Miss Illinois County Fair -- they say what's more, Jackie Driscoll of Cambridge is a student at Monmouth College, majoring in History for Secondary Education.

In a press release, Driscoll says the win was so unexpected, but she's ready to represent Henry County at the state level.

What's more, the pageant says Miss Warren County Fair -- Marcella Gillen of Monmouth -- was named First Runner-Up.

Miss Mercer County Fair -- Briley Lloyd of Aledo -- was the only other local representative among the nine finalists.

Miss Knox County Fair -- Amelia Rogers of Knoxville -- was also among the 66 participants in the Miss Illinois County Fair Pageant, which ended Sunday in Springfield.
