Adleigh Moore of Lakeside High School claimed the crown Saturday afternoon, earning the title of 2026 Webster Parish Fair Queen during the annual pageant at Minden High School.
Seven young women competed for the title in the Civitan-sponsored pageant, taking the stage in fitness, casual wear, evening gown, and other portions of the competition before Moore was announced as this year’s queen.
Moore also captured two individual honors, receiving the Fitness Award and Interview Award.
Xhailor McGlothan of North Webster High School was named first runner-up after earning both the Casual Wear Award and Evening Gown Award. Gracie Young of Minden High School was named second runner-up and received the People’s Choice Award.
Ella Campbell of North Webster High School was named third runner-up, while Lanie Gates of Doyline received the Miss Congeniality Award.
Anna Claire Lemoine served as emcee for the afternoon competition. Lemoine is no stranger to the pageant stage. The Minden native and former Miss Minden served as Miss Louisiana Volunteer 2025 and has competed multiple times at the Miss Louisiana pageant.
The pageant serves as one of the traditions leading into the Webster Parish Fair, giving the newly crowned queen an opportunity to represent the parish as fair festivities get underway later this month.
The 2026 Webster Parish Fair is scheduled for October 21-24. The annual Webster Parish Fair Parade will roll through downtown Minden on Tuesday, October 20, kicking off fair week before activities begin at the fairgrounds.
Moore and the other pageant winners will now carry on a longstanding Webster Parish tradition, representing their schools and communities during one of the parish’s signature fall events.
