Five years ago, Brianna Hyde walked off the fairgrounds convention center stage as the Mrs. Western Kentucky State Fair queen. On Monday, she added another crown — Ms. Western Kentucky State Fair Plus.
Hyde, the main street director for the City of Cadiz, was first runner-up in the plus pageant last year but was able to claim the crown Monday night in the 30-and-up age category.
She said the win was enjoyable in more than one way.
