king and queen candidates

The Royal Court began in 1954 after two junior leaders, Dick Buchwalter and Barb Summerville-Tohm, approached Chester Swank, 4-H agent, with the idea. Janice Hanna, 4-H educator, said the King and Queen are chosen based on many factors, including who the panel believes will make a good ambassador for 4-H throughout the year. 4-H members must be 16 to qualify for the court. The King and Queen will be announced during the ceremony that begins at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday.
