Gillespie County Fair Queen

Morgyn Granville QUEEN Granville is the daughter of Michael and Danielle Granville. She will be a junior at Fredericksburg High School in the fall.

Royal duties The makings of a queen and her duchesses Representing the Gillespie County Fair and Festival Association is just one of the many jobs of the Gillespie County Fair Queen and Duchesses.

This year’s court includes Morgyn Granville, queen; Gladys Tamayo, first duchess; Ashley Hahn, second duchess, and Ja’Nay Settles, third duchess.

The group of four spends the year helping plan various events all the while being a face for the community.

“Our goal has been to serve as an ambassador for our exceptional community,” Settles said. “I didn’t realize until (I was in this role) that being a member of the court was such a significant way to serve our county.”

The process of becoming a queen or duchess is simple but lengthy. Applicants must first fill out an application and attend a kick-off meeting. On Friday of the fair, contestants ride in the parade before personal interviews with the judges and then the evening pageant in front of an audience.

“You have to talk about what you are involved in in the community and know some of the history of Gillespie County,” Hahn said.

For Granville, Tamayo and Settles, being on the court has been something they wanted to do for a long time.

“My mom and many friends have been a part of the fair court and I think it is neat to carry on that tradition,” Granville said.

“This is something that I wanted to be a part of since I was little,” Tamayo said. “My older sister was a duchess and her experience was contagious.”

For Hahn, it wasn’t about the dresses and looking pretty.

“Even if you aren’t a girly girl, you can still get some benefit from the experience,” Hahn said. “I’ve never been the kind for dresses and crowns. I am more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. But it’s really more about taking a leadership role and meeting new people.”

Being on the court not only gives the girls opportunities to

meet new people, but to be a role model for younger girls.

“I wanted to do this to be a leader and role model for younger kids in the same way that past court members have been for me,” Granville said.

The girls must also be an example for the community of Gillespie County.

“It is an honor and a big responsibility and requires one to be punctual and prepared,” Tamayo said. “We have to do our best and leave people with a good impression of the fair association.”

Another project of the court is to help tear down the past year’s float and then plan and rebuild the fair float for their year.

This often requires dedicating time during the week to complete the project.

Welcome Friends & Family to the Gillespie County Fair!

May you take great memories home!

“The bonds we have created on countless Wednesday nights spent working on the float will last a lifetime,” Settles said.

This has not come without its challenges.

“We don’t always see eye to eye on decisions but we pull through in the end,” Hahn said.

“The process has taught me the value of time management, compromise and communication since we all share the same goal,” Settles said.

At the end of the day, the goal is to provide the best representation of the Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association.

“I love being able to represent the oldest continuous fair in the state of Texas,” Granville said. “It is a great experience representing the hundreds of hours of work put in by the many fair directors and volunteers as well as volunteering in my community.”

Take a look back T

he

Gillespie County Fair started featuring Gillespie County Fair Queens on the cover of its catalog in 1953. The first to appear on the cover was JoAnn Striegler, queen of the 65th fair.

The Gillespie County Fair has gone through many transformations, hosting baseball tournaments and an all-male queen’s contest, but what remains a lasting tradition is honoring its queen and court.

Take a look back at Gillespie County Fair queens and some of their courts through the decades.

Fair parade big draw in August Main Street in Fredericksburg will be busy the morning of Friday, Aug. 25, as people show up early to get a seat in the downtown curbside area for the 129th Gillespie County Fair Parade.

Entrants are expected to begin lining up as early at 7 a.m.

Judging of the entries will begin at 8:30 a.m., while the parade will start promptly at 10 a.m.

For this year’s parade, Jason and Rebecca Priess serve as the chairpersons while Edward Stroeher is co-chairperson.

Stroeher said they currently have 30 floats signed up but are expecting well over 100.

Musical entries are encouraged.

More than 50 parade-day volunteers will help arrange entries ranging from floats, to new and old vehicles, to flatbed trailers, to horsemen.

There will be commercial entries serving as a mobile advertising for their product or service, and others will represent churches, civic groups and other area organizations seeking to get their message seen by thousands of parade viewers.

Gen. Mike Hagee (U.S. Marines, ret.) will serve this year as the parade’s grand marshal, in honor of the National Museum of the Pacific War celebrating its 50th anniversary.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is being invited to serve as an honorary parade marshal in honor of its 100th anniversary, but it’s not known yet whether they will be there.

Fair catalog honorees are Walton Heimann and Jerry Icke. Other dignitaries in the parade will include the contestants seeking the title of the 2018 Gillespie County Fair Queen.

Fredericksburg and Harper high school marching bands will take part in the parade, and other musical entries

from area communities and fairs throughout Central and South Texas will seek to bring patrons to their own events.

The fair is also expected to include 12-15 visiting duchesses.

Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association officials said they appreciate the county for the use of Courthouse Square as a staging area and the City of Fredericksburg for providing personnel from the street and police departments to help direct traffic and pace the procession.

A few rules must be observed by participants and parade watchers.

Participants are not allowed to throw candy or other items off floats, in order to help prevent children or other spectators from running into the parade route.

Water gun spraying is not allowed, and participants also are asked not to hand out items along the route, in an effort to keep the pace smooth.

Other guidelines include limiting the volume of music to keep from drowning out other parade entries.

How to bet?

Join the solution...

Head to the betting window and give the teller this information: 1.) The number of the race betting on and the amount of money that is being wagered from $2 and up.

2.) The type of wager such as “Win”, “Place”, “Show”, “Quinella”, “Exacta”, “Trifecta”, etc.

3.) The official program number of the horse or horses for the bet. It was noted that bettors should not use the horse’s name.

For example, say: “In the first race, I would like $2 to Win on number one.” or “In the second race, I would like a $2 Exacta with 7-2.”

RACING GLOSSARY A

ACROSS THE BOARD: Bet a horse to win, place and show, and if the horse wins, the bettor collects all three ways.

D

DAILY DOUBLE: In a “Daily Double”, the bettor picks the winners of two consecutive races designated as “Daily Double” in the official race program. The wager must be made before the start of the first of the two races. For example: “$2 Daily Double 8-9” means the bettor has selected the 8 horse in the first half and the 9 horse in the second half.

E

EXACTA: Pick the top two finishers in the exact order in which they finish.

Example: “$2 exacta 1-2” means the number one horse has to finish first and the number two horse has to finish second.

EXACTA BOX: Bettors can “box” two, three or more horses to cover a number of possible combinations. For example: a three-horse exacta box would make for six combinations and would cost $12 for a $2 bet. A “$2 Exacta Box 3-4-5” means any two of the three horses must finish first and second, in any order.

Q

QUINELLA: Pick the top two finishers in any order in the race. Example: “$2 Quinella 1-2” means the one and two horses finishes first and second in any order.

QUINELLA BOX: Choose more

than two horses for a Quinella box.

For example, a three-horse box (three wagers) would cost $6, a four-horse box (six wagers) costs $12 and a fivehorse box (10 wagers) costs $20. Of those horses selected, two of them must finish first and second, in any order.

S

SUPERFECTA: Pick the top four finishers in a race in the exact order.

T

TRIFECTA: Pick the top three finishers in the exact order. Example: “$2 Trifecta 7-8-9” means the seven horse must finish first, the eight horse must finish second and the nine horse must finish third.

TRIFECTA BOX: The Trifecta Box includes every possible combination that couldresult from the selected horses. Example: “$2 Trifecta box 4-5-6”, means those three horses must finish first, second and third in any order. The $2 bet would cost $12. A $2 four-horse Trifecta box costs $48 and a $2 fivehorse Trifecta box costs $120.

TWIN TRIFECTA: Like the daily double, this bet involves two races designated as “Twin Trifecta” in the race program. To win, the bettor must pick the first, second and third place finishers in exact order in the first half of the designated race. After the first race is declared official and before the second race is run, the bettor exchanges the winning ticket and selects the first three horses in the exact order of the second race of the “Twin Trifecta”.
