What a sweet season this has been. 🍎👑

Competing for Miss Lincoln County Apple Queen has been such an incredible blessing, and I couldn’t have done it without so many amazing people beside me.

I’m so honored to have received the Essay Award along with a scholarship. It means so much to have my heart, writing, and passion recognized in such a special way.

Congratulations to our new Jadyn Allman! You are so deserving of this title, and I know you will represent Lincoln County with grace, kindness, and excellence. I can’t wait to watch all that you accomplish this year!

Congratulations to the new Miss Congeniality Ayleen! You deserve this and everything more! There’s nobody better for this role! I love you!🩵

Thank you to every business, family, and friend who purchased an ad, supported me, voted, prayed, and encouraged me throughout this journey. Your kindness means more than you know.

A huge thank you to the entire Apple Queen Committee for the countless hours you pour into making this program so special. Cheryl, Megan, Dana, Erica, and Winter—thank you for your love, encouragement, and for spoiling us with so many thoughtful goodies all summer long. You made this experience one I’ll never forget.

Thank you to Tim Goates for capturing such beautiful memories through your photography, to Bronzed by Bailee for making me feel confident with the perfect spray tan, and to Styled by Madi for making me feel beautiful with my hair and makeup. I’m so grateful for each of you!

Most importantly, thank You, God. Your timing is always perfect and on time! I’m so grateful God gave me the opportunity to share my platform, ROOTED. Above all, being able to encourage others to grow in faith, serve with purpose, and inspire a love for reading has been the greatest honor. I know this is only the beginning of what God has planned, and I can’t wait to continue serving Lincoln County.

This chapter may be over, but ROOTED is only getting started. ❤️🌱🍎

Words cannot express the gratitude I have felt the last 24 hours. Last night I was crowned as Miss Lincoln County Apple Queen. This title did not come without hard work, challenges, and dedication. Let this be your sign to not give up because sometimes things are worth the wait. I started my journey through pageantry my junior year of high school. I fell in love with it because of how much love I have for performing on a stage, committing to leadership roles, and its powerful rush for femininity. However, despite my love for it, I had never won a title before. This did not stop me from continuing to peruse something I love. Here I am years later with a DREAM role and I couldn’t feel more blessed. Sometimes good things take time. A few weeks ago my pastor said something that struck me. “Sometimes things just don’t make a lot of sense.” in that moment I realized I never held a title prior, not because I wasn’t capable but because I had not become the version of myself that I needed to be to hold a title. & let me tell you… the wait was 100% worth it. I have grown in numerous ways and I am so GLAD this version of Jadyn gets to be the Apple Queen. Thank you to ALL the wonderful contestants who stood beside me, to Kara and Calla who were by me EVERY step of the way. thank you to a LOVELY Apple Queen committee, which I cannot wait to spend time with during my reign, you all do so much for us. thank you to my family, especially my mom & gram for always making sure my outfits were up to their standard, thank you to my apprentice (aka my cousin) pickle, I love you so much I couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you Garrison for listening to me whenever I needed and your endless support. Jocelyn, thank you so much for your advice, support, and generosity towards me. I know I would not be where I am without your help. You are an AMAZING Apple Queen and I am so thrilled we can be Forever Apple Queens together. And thank you to the 5 wonderful judges who saw something in me. I cannot wait to see what this year has to offer and I KNOW Lincoln County… I will not let you down. ~ Your 2026 Miss Lincoln County Apple Queen. 👑❤️
