Congratulations go to Little Miss Page Hobeck, Jr. Miss Jocelyn Nickels, Teen Miss Felicity Thiel and Miss Edgerton 2022, Sadie Walther, following the 2022 Miss Edgerton Pageant held on Saturday evening, July 16, 2022.

Emcee Elizabeth Thiel welcomed everyone to the event and announced the opening number in which the girls performed a dance routine to a medley of Disney Music.

The theme for the evening was “When you wish upon a star,” and the stage was decorated with many different forms and figures from Disney movies.

The Queens from 2021 seemed to enjoy their last big night, getting their own turns to walk on stage as well as the honor of crowning and putting sashes on winners.

2021 Little Miss Leighton Showalter, Junior Miss Kaydance Hobeck, Teen Miss Hope Hamblin and Miss Edgerton Grace Schroeder finished out their year well, with finesse and grace seen in each one of them.

A lot happens over the year of service as a queen and the maturity level was visible in each one as they wrapped it up.

2021 Miss Edgerton, Grace Schroeder demonstrated for the audience, using a large pretend pig, her talent on how to show a pig at the fair.

It was done well and showcased her love for Ag and her hope to encourage other young people to get involved in raising show animals.
