Behavior Policy

A “Zero Tolerance Behavior Policy” has been established by the Kimberton Fair Queen and the PA State Fair Queen Programs. The following will be considered violations of the policy and will be grounds for immediate dismissal.

• Illegal types of behavior, such as drug or tobacco product use, alcohol consumption;
• Smoking, by a legal aged person, will only be tolerated in private settings, never in a public location while representing the Kimberton Fair;
• Behavior during the fair or other related functions that is unbecoming, unmoral or detrimental to the Queen program as determined by the Kimberton Fair Board, including but not limited to on-line representations on the internet social networking sites (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.);
• Unresponsiveness to the requests and contacts of the Queen Coordinator or the Fair Board;
• Any defamation of the Queen Contest, its winners and contestants, the Fair or the PA Fair Queen Program and their Directors and Committee members, whether it is oral or written.  This includes postings on the Internet such as social networking sites;
• Disrespectful behavior of/with others. Boyfriends or significant others should display respectful behavior when accompanying the Queen. The general public and the Fair Board should be able to believe any individual accompanying you is part of your “family”. Public displays of affection will not be tolerated;

• Admitting unauthorized personnel into the Queen’s Room. Authorized personnel include Fair Board members, contestants and their Guardians, or as authorized by the Queen Coordinator;

• Any unsportsmanlike or uncooperative conduct before, during and after the competition.

Always remember that your actions or appearance
portray an image of our fair to the public.
