Pageants
Queen's Contest
If you think pageants are only for professional models or girls who spend four hours on their hair, we have a secret for you: the Ox Roast Queen Pageant is different.
We aren’t looking for a “beauty queen.” We’re looking for YOU — the girl who is ready to step out of her comfort zone, meet new people, and experience everything Ohio festivals have to offer.
✨ Ready to start your adventure? ✨
Don’t let the word “pageant” intimidate you. Think of this as your backstage pass to unforgettable memories, new friendships, exciting travel opportunities, and experiences you’ll carry with you for years to come.
Grab a friend, sign up together, and get ready to represent the legendary West Jefferson Ox Roast!
👑 “It’s not about the crown you wear — it’s about the places you go and the people you meet along the way.”
Application Deadline: August 28th, 2026
