McCoy will take part in the pageant
on Wednesday, July 14 th , at the County Fair,
when the coronation for the queen will take
place. She will also ride in the Vernonia
Jamboree parade.
McCoy, who was born and raised
in Vernonia, is an active member of the
community. She volunteers at the Vernonia
Senior Center as Activities Director on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and on
Tuesday and Thursday she can be found
helping out at the Vernonia Cares Food Bank,

McCoy, who doesn’t like to toot her
own horn, had this to say about being named
as Vernonia’s “My Fair Lady”-- “I was born
and raised here, so I feel like I’m a decent
representative for Vernonia and the Senior
Center.”
