The 2016 Cass County Fair Little Ms and Mr Contest along with the King and Queen contest were held on Thursday night at the Atlantic High School Auditorium.  The contests were moved to the High School due to the oppressive heat and humidity.

15 different candidates participated in the first annual Little Ms. and Mr. contest.  Names were drawn to determine who would win those titles and Reilly Becker was named Little Mister and Faithlynn Scholl was named Little Miss.

In the King and Queen contest 20 young women competed for the Queen title and 6 young men vied for the title of King.  Preliminary judging narrowed the queen candidates down to 6 finalists.  The finalists were asked a few questions in front of the crowd as final judging took place.

Some 4-H awards and honorees were announced as the judges made their final selections. Miss and Mister Congeniality, Prince and Princess, and King and Queen were then announced.
