TRINITY — Two FFA students have tossed their tiaras into the ring in hopes of becoming Fair Queen.
They will be crowned Saturday during the 77th annual Trinity Community Fair.
Savannah McDougald
Savannah McDougald is an active member of the Trinity FFA Chapter. She has been showing since the second grade, beginning with rabbits in Walker County before continuing in Trinity and Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. For her senior year, Savannah is showing a swine project.
Savannah has earned numerous awards and recognitions, including Rabbit Showmanship, Kelly Dial Top Hand Award, Top 5 FFA Member, Rabbit Proficiency, and her Chapter FFA Degree. Her dedication to agriculture extends beyond the show ring through her participation in Quiz Team, Livestock Judging, and Horse Evaluation.
Savannah has served as both secretary and vice president of the Trinity FFA Chapter. Savannah is also earning her Lone Star FFA Degree in July, one of the highest honors awarded at the state level.
Savannah is the daughter of Brian and Brittany McDougald. After graduation, she plans to become a dental assistant before continuing her education to pursue a career as a dental hygienist.
Serving as the 2026 Trinity Community Fair Queen would be a meaningful opportunity for Savannah to represent the values of hard work, leadership, and community that agriculture has instilled in her. She would be honored to serve as an ambassador for the Trinity Community Fair and proudly represent the youth, traditions, and agricultural heritage of Trinity County.
Sydney Pillows

Her hard work and dedication led her to earn Reserve Grand Champion at the Trinity County Fair. For her senior year project, Sydney is raising a swine for the Trinity Community Fair.
Sydney is an active member of the Trinity FFA Chapter and will serve as the 2026–2027 Chapter President during her senior year.
