7. Community Service Project- We strive to give our winners the best. Currently, we give our Miss Frederick County Fair a $1000 scholarship. We are asking the contestants to decorate a shoebox that represents the fair. After decorating, ask friends and family to donate money into the box. Boxes will be judged on presentation and originality and a best decorated box will be awarded in each category with the winner receiving a medal. The contestant that raises the most money in each group will receive a medal and 1 overall winner (collecting the most from all 6 age groups) will be crowned Miss Community Service and will be a part of our court and asked to do appearances, the fair and parades with the rest of the age group winners. This is NOT mandatory but used as a fundraiser for our Miss Frederick County Fair Scholarship fund, used to provide wardrobe and preparation for Virginia Association of Fairs, to build our parade float, and any leftover monies will be donated to the fair for future use.
