134th Frederick Fair crowns 4-H royalty amid opening ceremonies
The 134th Great Frederick Fair opened with Heather Leatherman crowned 4-H Queen and William Cooney III named 4-H King. Retiring royalty Kim Stup and Tymor Hevner passed the torch. Heather, 16, from Middletown, and William, a 17-year-old from Monrovia, spoke of 4-H impact and future plans. Scholarships totaling $1,000 for the king and queen plus $250 memorial gifts were awarded, with runners-up receiving $250. Events today include dairy goat and English horse shows, a midway opening, and George Jones in the grandstand.
