The 2025 Montgomery County Fair Queen was\u00a0Conroe High School junior Avery McCartney. She took her last ride around the rodeo Saturday night before crowning the 2026 queen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis past year has been filled with countless opportunities, tons of fun and a little bit of sadness knowing this day would soon come,\u201d McCartney said in a prerecorded\u00a0address shown before the crowning Saturday. \u201cThank you for giving me the honor of being your\u00a02025 fair queen and letting me share my love and passion for agriculture.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miller spoke on the work it took to reach her crowning moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis title means so much to me,\u201d she said in a news release from the Montgomery County Fair Association. \u201cIt took so much dedication and work, and being able to represent the fair, something I love so much, is just amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Growing up in Montgomery County, Miller spent years watching past fair queens and had a dream of one day being in their shoes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in third grade when I saw these pretty girls in dresses, and I immediately said to myself, \u2018I want to do that,\u2019\u201d Miller said. \u201cI still can\u2019t believe this is real. I\u2019m living the dream.\u201d<\/p>\n
