Adams County Fair crowns 2026 junior queen and king
Vivian Grimes and Diesel Ferguson were crowned junior fair royalty as the 135th Adams County Fair hit its midweek stretch, with admission still $10 a day.

Vivian Grimes and Diesel Ferguson were crowned the 2026 Junior Fair Queen and King as the 135th Adams County Fair moved into its midweek stretch at the Adams County Fairgrounds. The fair ran July 12-18, and its official 2026 schedule kept the week organized around junior fair, senior fair and vendor programming.
Daily admission on the fair’s Facebook listing was $10, with a season pass priced at $35. Those prices gave families a clear way to plan whether they were coming for one night or returning across the full week, which remained the county’s biggest summer gathering as it entered its final days.

The fairgrounds drew students, families, volunteers, livestock exhibitors, Adams County 4-H and junior fair participants, vendors and longtime fairgoers. That mix made the fair more than a stop for rides and food; it served as a place where youth projects, animal shows and community traditions were on display together. The junior fair page on the fair’s site reinforced that focus with 2026 junior fair content and photos, while the senior fair and vendor pages showed how many parts of the county’s economy and civic life were tied to the week.

Grimes and Ferguson’s junior royalty titles placed youth recognition at the center of the fair’s midweek momentum. The honor also pointed ahead to another youth event on the county calendar, the Junior Miss Adams County pageant, scheduled for Thursday, July 30. For families following the fair beyond the main week, that kept the spotlight on young people as a recurring theme rather than a one-night ceremony.


The fair’s contact number, 937.544.3290, was listed for use during the fair and on meeting nights from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. With the schedule, junior fair information and vendor details all posted online, the Adams County Fair remained set up as a full countywide event, not just a single-night attraction.
