The new Miss McHenry County will receive many lovely gifts, as well as the challenging right to vie as our county's representative in the state-wide competition for Miss Illinois County Fair. Letters will be sent to sponsors which cooperated with local contests, last year, since these cooperators have first choice as a local sponsor. Only one candidate may be chosen to represent a community, village, town or city -- and cities must coordinate their contests under one sponsoring organization as usual. Deadline for entries in the 1968 Miss McHenry County contest will be Thursday, June 27. That deadline will enable the Fair association to give local sponsors more recognition. Girls must be between sixteen and twenty-two -16 by August 1 - and not over 22 by Jan. 20,1969 when the state meet is held. Candidates must be single, never married and a resident of McHenry county.
