The Effingham County Pork Producers will sponsor a “Little Miss Pigtail” Contest for the girls of Effingham County, ages 4-7.

Entries are limited to the first 25 girls.  All entrants must reside in Effingham County.  Entries must be received by Wednesday, July 17th.  

Each girl will receive a t-shirt that she will wear on stage and a goody bag.

Judging will be Tuesday, July 30th at 5:00pm in the Schuetzenfest Building on the Effingham County Fairgrounds.  At this time each participant will have their Pigtails measured.  Once all measurements are complete, the contestants will meet outside the grandstand track entrance for line up at 5:50pm.

Winners will be announced at approximately 6:00pm on the grandstand stage, weather permitting.

A Facebook page titled "Little Miss Pigtail Contest" has been developed so you can find more information and ask any questions.
