SLO County Young Women, This Is Your Moment: Miss CMSF Deadline is April 17

PASO ROBLES, CA — Clock’s ticking n If you’ve ever thought “maybe I could do that…”—this is it.

Young women across San Luis Obispo County have until Friday, April 17 to apply for the Miss

California Mid-State Fair Scholarship Pageant—and it’s way more than a crown.

Think: confidence glow-up, real-world skills, scholarship money, and a front-row role in one of the

biggest events on the Central Coast.

Don’t just go to the Fair—BE the Fair.

• Win scholarship money

• Show off your personality + talent

• Pitch your own idea to make the Fair even better

• Build confidence, friendships, and serious main-character energy

Contestants compete in interview, talent, evening wear, and a Fair proposal—your chance to bring

your own creative idea to life at the Fair.

No experience? Doesn’t matter. This program is built for first-timers and seasoned performers alike.

“This program is about far more than a crown,” said Courtney Lucas, Pageant Director. “It’s about

confidence, mentorship, and creating opportunities for young women to grow and represent their

community.”

And when it’s all said and done? You’re not just on stage—you’re part of the Fair. Winners represent

the California Mid-State Fair each day of the Fair and across the community throughout the rest of the

year.
