Danville kids win Little Miss, Mr. Kentucky, at state fair
Kinley Marie Tompkins, 5, and Karson Everett Emmons, 7, both of Danville, won the 2017 Little Miss and Mr. Kentucky at the Kentucky State Fair on Aug. 17, while competing against 66 other entries. This is the first time Boyle County has ever won the pageant, which began in 1982.
Kinley is the daughter of Andrea and Ahntoan Tompkins and sister to Taylor, Kamden and Brennan. She is a first-grader at Toliver Elementary School and loves to swim, cheer for CATS team in Harrodsburg, dance, skate, and play sports.
Karson is the son of Rheanna and Randy Emmons and brother to Kaden. He is a second-grader at Toliver and enjoys playing baseball, football, soccer and basketball and riding his dirt bike.
Kinley and Karson also won the Little Miss and Mr. Boyle County pageant at the Boyle County Fair earlier this summer.
They each won $150, a sash, crown and trophy and will appear at the Pre-teen, Teen and Miss Kentucky pageants throughout the year, as well as many parades.
