Expectations after becoming an Ambassador

All Ambassadors will wear "official" clothes at all appearances.
Clothes and shoes must be clean, and clothes must be wrinkle-free.
Hair should be styled neat and clean for appearance.
Fingernails: Please make sure they are clean and well-groomed. If polished, they should not be chipped.
While on or about Court duties, all Ambassadors will be representing the Pierce County Fair:
- Be respectful & polite to each other and those around you.
- Engage in the designated activity (No cell phones).
- Converse/ interact with the public.
The adult in charge/ chaperone will send you home for inappropriate behavior.
If you can't make an appearance, you'll need to let the Advisor or the Chaperone oversee that day's activity.*
To be considered for Royal Ambassador, you must attend 75% of the events (last-minute events will be treated "as available" and not be part of the percentage).
Your reign for the Fair is not over at the end of the Fair. You may be asked to attend appearances after the Fair, except for those who are away at college. We would love you to return the following year to help crown the Royal Ambassador.
All Ambassadors must arrive at appearances on time and ready to begin on time!
This is a NO-DRAMA zone! You don't have to like each other but must be friendly and polite. You are representing the Fair.
Each Ambassador must fill out a medical release form and have insurance coverage.

*Prior to the appearance, all court members and parents will be given the phone numbers for the designated chaperone.

Once the Court is established, there will be outings and events that they will attend, where they will then be judged on their personality and friendliness to the public. This judging shall be completed by independent judges with input from chaperones, Fair Board Members, and the Court Advisor (providing they are not a parent/ guardian/ leader of a youth in the current year's competition). The Ambassador with the best score will be crowned the Royal Ambassador on Thursday evening of the Pierce County Fair on the main stage.
