Strawberry Queen
Description
Black and white image of a young woman in regalia with a sparkly crown, holding a scepter decorated with fake strawberries. Museum records confirm that she is the Strawberry Queen, but give no other information. Washington County held its first Strawberry Festival in 1957, and the first strawberry queen was chosen the following year from a field of six candidates, judged for their 'talent, beauty, and poise.'
