Geary County 4-H crowned the 2015 King and Queen Thursday night following the Public Revue at the Geary County Senior Center-4-H building.

This years royalty are both from the Lyons Creek 4-H Club, Queen Rebekah Thomas, 16, will be a Junior at Chapman High School and King Gabriel Anderson, 15, will be a Junior at Junction City High School.

“For me it means that I need to be even more on task,” said Anderson. “I need to show 4-H really well. As King I feel like I need to be kind of like the perfect model citizen, that way I show that 4-H makes your children better and into a more rounded person.”

The King and Queen will have many duties over the next year including representing Geary County 4-H at multiple local and state events.

Thomas explained she’s wanted to become the 4-H Queen ever since she saw her brothers be crowned 4-H Kings growing up.

“All three of my brothers ran and were crowned Kings and I saw the Queens and they looked, in the crowns, they looked all pretty,” said Thomas.

Last years Co-Queens Marissa Muto and Brittney Childs crowned both Thomas and Anderson following the 4-H Public Revue which officially kicked off the Geary County Free Fair that runs next Monday through Thursday.
