The Fair Royalty are ambassadors of goodwill for the community and youth of Southeast Weld County area. Their purpose is to promote the Southeast Weld County Jr Fair & Rodeo.
My name is Anastyn Perez, and I am honored to serve as the 2025–2026 Southeast Weld County Queen. I am currently a junior at Weld Central High School and also attend classes at Aims Community College. After graduating high school, I plan to attend a university to pursue a degree in business while continuing to compete in collegiate horse judging.
I am very involved in both 4-H and FFA, where I show horses and goats, compete in a variety of events, and serve as both a Weld Central and district officer. Through these experiences over the past year, I have had the opportunity to meet incredible people and build meaningful connections that have made a lasting impact on my life. As Southeast Weld County Queen, I am proud to represent agriculture, the western way of life, and the youth programs that have shaped who I am today.
I am truly grateful for the community I have the privilege to serve and for the unwavering support from those around me. I am also extremely thankful for my family, who support me in everything I do.
Hi, I’m Adalyn Cook. I am the SEWCF 2025-2026 lady-in-waiting. I am 16 years old and a sophomore at Weld Central High School. I was born and raised in Keenesburg, Colorado and my parents are Doug and Jennifer Cook
In my free time, I love hanging out with my friends, playing competitive volleyball, going to the lake with family and friends, and competing in gymkhanas.
I really appreciate our small town of Keenesburg! There is a lot of love and support from everyone with all things involving the youth! I’m excited to be the Queen and encourage all the little cowgirls to follow their dreams and one day they can wear the crown and represent our amazing little town!
