The Rice County Fair Queen Coronation kicks off today, and one of the hallmark events of any fair, the Queen coronation is tonight! Don’t miss out on all the fun by watching it live wherever you are in the world with the live broadcast and  live stream of the crowning.

This year, there are six contestants running for the title of Rice County Fair Queen, including Courtney Albers of Faribault, Michelle Hohrman of Northfield, Miranda Leann Pautzke of Faribault, Emily Marie Reuvers of Faribault, Tara Van Thomme of Faribault and Lexi Wetzel of Faribault.

The Rice Country Fair Queen Coronation was started by KDHL’s Dean Curtiss, and many years later, KDHL still has a strong presence in the event with news and sports director Gordy Kosfeld serving as the master of ceremonies. This year, due to a Minnesota Twins game, KDHL won't be broadcasting the event. But our sister station, Power 96, will have it live. We also will be live streaming the coronation on the Power 96 Facebook page. So you've got three ways to take in the coronation: in person with us at the Rice County Fair, on the air with Power 96 95.9FM, or via video live stream with Power 96 on Facebook.
