We are pleased to introduce you to our
2026 Miss Fall Festival Shaylee Barnes
Meet Miss Fall Festival 2026 — Shaylee Barnes!
A Zionsville native and IU Bloomington grad with a degree in neuroscience and a minor in dance, Shaylee now teaches at Village Dance Studio, where she grew up dancing for 15 years.
Her pageant talent is singing, and after first competing in Miss Fall Festival’s Outstanding Teen at age 12, she’s come full circle to earn this year’s crown!
Shaylee’s platform, MEDLIFE (Medicine, Education, and Development for Low-Income Families Everywhere), has taken her to Peru and Ecuador to support mobile health clinics and community projects. She’s also raised over $1,500 and now serves as a MEDLIFE ambassador, building local high school chapters in Indiana.
She says, “Winning this title means the world to me. I’m so excited to work with the Lions and serve my hometown!”

Congratulations Shaylee! We look forward to seeing you represent the community throughout the year!
