The Princess Court acted as Vernonia ambassadors around Columbia County at various events, including a parade in St. Helens on June 17 and then spent three swelteringly hot days at the Columbia County Fair & Rodeo. Heidi Fergason, of Vernonia, was the coordinator and chap- erone for the Princess Court and put in countless volunteer hours helping the young ladies prepare for their duties, raise money and find sponsors for the program.
