Meet our Court:
Queen: Aspen Hendricks is 15 years old and the daughter of Tim and Becca Hendricks of Quemado, NM. She enjoys gathering cattle, spending time outdoors, participating in 4-H, and youth veterinary science apprenticeship. Aspen plans to become a large animal veterinarian and hopes to inspire younger exhibitors while promoting agriculture and being a reliable ambassador of the Catron County Fair. She is a very well-rounded student and dedicated Quemado Eagle athlete, participating in FFA, Mock Trial, Theater, Volleyball, Basketball and Track & Field.

She hopes to become a Neurologist and attend Texas A & M to receive her degree. She is honored to represent the Catron County Fair while encouraging others to become involved in agriculture and community service. Along with her sister, Sage is a scholar and is involved in FFA, Mock Trial, Theater, Volleyball, Basketball and Track & Field at Quemado Schools, where she will be entering the 7th grade.

She loves spending time with her sister, Solana. She enjoys gymnastics, dance, ballet, and spending time with her animals. Davianna is excited to be part of the royalty program because she thinks being part of the Catron County Fair will be lots of fun and will show everyone the proper royalty wave!

Catron County Fair Royalty Contest
At the heart of Catron County lies a deep commitment to our western heritage, our agricultural traditions, and each other. The Fair Royalty Contest exists to honor young women who embody these values: girls who understand that being part of this community means showing up, stepping forward, and representing something bigger than themselves.
When you compete for Fair Queen, Fair Princess, or Junior Miss, you're not just competing for a crown. You're stepping into a leadership role that matters. You'll become the face of the Catron County Fair, an ambassador who represents our county's spirit at community events, parades, and gatherings throughout the year. This is real responsibility paired with real support. We want you to grow through this experience, to build confidence, develop your voice, and forge connections with people who share your values. Yes, there's hard work involved. But there's also joy, celebration, and the chance to be part of something meaningful.
The contest itself celebrates what makes you unique. Whether you choose to showcase your horsemanship, present an agricultural demonstration, share your talents on stage, or shine in an interview, we want you to enjoy this time. Compete authentically, support your fellow contestants, and remember that you're representing a legacy of strong, dedicated young women from Catron County.
Who can compete? Any girl enrolled in grades 3-12 (public, private, or homeschool) can enter. We have three divisions: Fair Queen (grades 9-12, typically ages 14-18), Fair Princess (grades 6-8, typically ages 11-14), and Junior Miss (grades 3-5, typically ages 8-11).
Orientation is May 30th (morning in Quemado, afternoon in Reserve). The contest is June 27th, 2026. If you're ready to take on this leadership role and become part of our fair's tradition, we'd love to talk with you.
