The Cow Days Festival features a series of youth beauty and talent competitions. Taking place on the Saturday of the festival weekend (historically at Green County Middle School), the event includes age-diverse categories ranging from infant/toddler divisions (e.g., 0-5 months up to 18-24 months for girls and boys) to older groups (e.g., 3-4 years through 16-21 years for girls), with crowns awarded for titles like Miss Cow Days, Teen, Pre-Teen, and others. As a KFPA Preliminary (Kentucky Federation of Pageant Associations) event, it emphasizes poise, personality, and fun while serving as a preliminary for broader state-level pageants.
