Tonight’s the night. One of these seven lovely young ladies will take the title of 2011 Miss Logan County Fair. The seven contestants along with 15 Little Miss candidates will appear on stage this evening for judging. At the end of the evening, Queen Bethany Rea and Little Miss Dani Phillips will end their year of service to Logan County, and a new pair will take up where they leave off. On Sunday evening, the seven candidates and the reigning queen spent a relaxing evening at Guzzardo’s after several weeks of practice and preparation.
