Tractor-Driving Queen

Miss Rockbridge Regional Fair 2022, Sofia Fleming, as a sixth-generation American farmer, felt that it was natural to drive her family‘s decorated tractor in the Happy Birthday America Parade in Staunton on the Fourth of July. The creativity and unusualness of a pageant queen driving a tractor caught the attention of the crowd and the judges. She won the Extraordinaire Award - The Most Outstanding Parade Entry. The deadline for entering this year’s Miss Rockbridge Fair Pageant, scheduled for Aug. 5 at RCHS, is July 28. Information can be found on the fair’s website or by sending an email to [email protected]. (Valerie Fleming photo) 07/19/2023 12:00 AM
