Miss Division Note: The Miss Missouri Outdoors title is the qualifying title for the Missouri State Fair competition. Because the State Fair establishes its own eligibility requirements, the crowned Miss Missouri Outdoors titleholder must meet those requirements to compete. If the titleholder is not eligible under the State Fair's current rules, Miss Missouri Outdoors will appoint an official Ambassador to represent the organization at the Missouri State Fair.
Appointment of an Ambassador for the Missouri State Fair does not affect the titleholder's reign, awards, or responsibilities as Miss Missouri Outdoors.
