The Pennsylvania Apple Queen
|
Hello, my name is Sophia Taylor and I am the 2025 Pennsylvania Apple Queen. I would like to tell you about the Apple Queen Contest, requirements, and duties. Any young woman who is a junior in High School and a resident of Adams County is eligible. You must be willing to learn and educate the public about apples and the apple industry. Previous knowledge of apples is not required. Training will be provided. Everyone interested must submit an application and there will be a contestant tea to become acquainted and go over details of the contest. The contest will be held on Sunday October 11th, 2026 during The National Apple Harvest Festival. The contest will consist of greeting Festival attendees, a personal interview and a question-and-answer session about apples and the apple industry on stage. You will receive information to study for the contest after you send your application. If you become the Pennsylvania Apple Queen you will attend many fun promotions from Fairs and Festivals to talking to students in Elementary schools. Mandatory promotions: After you are crowned:
The fall will be your busiest season during your reign. We typically have two Sunday promotions in September and the four days of Apple Harvest. You may need to miss school for a few promotions. You must be a “people person,” willing to work with all ages. I have greatly enjoyed my reign as Apple Queen. Not only have I learned a lot about apples, but I have had the opportunity to meet many new people and educate them about apples. Applications will be available through September 12th at all Adams County High Schools, or by calling or emailing Sandy Kime at 717-752-5913, [email protected] Hope to see you at the contestant tea. Appley yours, Sophia Taylor PA Apple Queen |
