The Paulding County Junior Fairgrounds buzzed with anticipation on Sunday, June 9, as family, friends, and supporters gathered for the annual Junior Fair King and Queen coronation ceremony. A cherished tradition, the event highlights the leadership, dedication, and spirit of youth involved in 4-H, FFA, and the Junior Fair Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the honor of representing the Paulding County Junior Fair as King and Queen was awarded to Seth Rosswurm and Brooklyn Schlatter. Seth is the son of Bruce and Amy Rosswurm and an 11th grader actively involved in the Leaders of Tomorrow 4-H Club and Junior Fair Board. Brooklyn, daughter of Doug and Heidi Schlatter, is a recent Paulding High School graduate and member of the Paulding FFA Chapter and Junior Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First runner-up titles went to Johnathan Lipps, son of Katie Jackson and Nathan Lipps; and Jalyn Klopfenstein, daughter of Jay Klopfenstein, Jeff and Elaine Andrea Schad. Second runner-up King was Matthew Bail, son of Joanna Bail; and Hannah Griffiths, daughter of Denise Griffiths, received second runner-up Queen honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the announcement of the court, attendees also celebrated younger participants. This year\u2019s Junior Prince and Princess were Barrett Damman and Whitney Miller, while Jeremiah Sajuan and Adalyn Miller were crowned Junior King and Queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening also featured the recognition of Miranda \u201cDoug\u201d Leatherman as the 2025 Parade Marshal. A lifelong supporter of 4-H and currently a member of the Senior Fair Board, Leatherman shared her gratitude and encouraged youth to \u201creach for the sky and make memories with those who matter most.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outgoing King Zach Wobler and Queen Hannah Molitor shared heartfelt reflections of their year of service, visiting fairs across Ohio, handing out awards, giving tours, and inspiring younger fairgoers. Holler recounted a touching moment when a little girl on the midway called her a princess, saying, \u201cI want to be just like you when I grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the final selection, each finalist answered an impromptu question on stage. Their responses reflected values of hard work, personal growth, and appreciation for the fair community. From favorite projects to advice for younger members, the contestants shared how the fair has helped shape their future goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
