**Here's how it works:**

- Our court begins at the 2025 Brownsville Harvest Festival and concludes the following 2026  year during the same festival, where we will crown a Queen or King.

- Participation is a ONE TIME opportunity during your K-12th grade years—you may only be on the court once.Girls or boys in Linn County are welcome to join!

- We are also offering a fun and special “Elite Ensemble” Harvest Court for individuals aged 65 and up—Nothing is better than bringing the generations together!

**What makes our court unique?**

- No need to dress up in traditional princess or prince attire unless you want to! Participants can choose to dress fancy, wear costumes, or something in between—it's entirely up to you and the team of contestants.

- This experience teaches teamwork, problem-solving, and community involvement.

**What’s involved?**

- Court members will volunteer with various local CLC events and parades throughout the year. This is to promote volunteerism, accomplishment and to just have fun.

- You/parents are responsible for transportation; we will provide chaperones when needed.

- Participants will receive a T-shirt and sash to wear during events, unless the court decides to wear other coordinated attire.

- Photos will be taken during events, and participation may include features in local newspapers—opt-out options are available if preferred.

-Volunteering at every event is not mandatory but appreciated.
