The 2022 Brown County Youth Fair Queen was crowned Saturday afternoon prior to the Premium Sale.

Brownwood senior Watts Jones, daughter of Justin and Tami Jones (featured photo), wore the jacket of her late great-grandmother, Neva Watts, during Saturday’s coronation.  Jones showed pigs and was involved in the fashion show at the youth fair this week, along with additional queen contestant responsibilities.
