Missouri State Fair Queens

Miss Bailey Schneider Crowned 2025 Missouri State Fair Queen

Miss Bailey Schneider, of Warrenton, was named the 2025 Missouri State Fair Queen in a ceremony held Thursday, Aug. 7. Miss Schneider received the highest score of 32 contestants vying for the title in the two-day competition, held in the Mathewson Exhibition Center. Miss Schneider will reign over the remaining State Fair events and be an ambassador for the State Fair and Missouri agriculture throughout the coming year.

Miss Schneider is 19-years-old attending the University of Missouri. As Queen, she will receive a $2,000 scholarship to continue her education. Miss Schneider entered as Miss Warren County and is the daughter of Jeff and Jennifer Schneider.

Miss Schneider is most looking forward to participating in the Opening Day Parade and attending the Governor’s Ham Breakfast for the first time. Miss Schneider’s favorite way to Step On In at the Fair is by being an exhibitor, and now, as the 2025 Missouri State Fair Queen.

Miss Schneider has previously partaken in Fair activities as a swine exhibitor, as well as volunteering at the Beef House and being involved in Missouri FFA. She enjoys the way everyone comes together to celebrate Missouri, and the swine shows, especially the No Limit’s P.I.G. Show, at the Missouri State Fair each year.

Participants in the queen pageant were judged in multiple areas including interview, speech, talent and evening gown.

Miss Jalynn Hoover was named first runner-up and will receive a $1,000 scholarship. Second runner-up went to Miss Karlie Ellis, who will receive a $750 scholarship. The third runner-up honor went to Miss Tyne Wilson who will receive a $500 scholarship, and the fourth runner-up honor went to Miss Faith Williams who will receive a $350 scholarship.
