The Lehigh County Agricultural Society, the nonprofit organization that owns and operates the Great Allentown Fair, is looking for contestants from Lehigh, Northampton and Berks counties to vie for the title of 2021 Great Allentown Fair Queen.

Young women age 16 to 20 may enter the competition that awards a $1,500 scholarship. The $1,000 portion is presented by Lehigh-Northampton Pomona Grange No. 68 and the $500 portion of the scholarship is presented by Dan and Laurie Wuchter on behalf of the Allentown Farmer’s Market.

The 2021 Allentown Fair Queen will be crowned Opening Night, Sept. 1, at the RCN Farmerama Theater at the Great Allentown Fair. The 2019 and 2020 queen Ayla Blatt of Kutztown will return to crown her successor.

The Fair Queen will vie for the title of Pennsylvania State Fair Queen in Hershey in January 2022.

The deadline for registration is July 15.
