Please join the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce in congratulating our 2026 Festival of the Fish Miss Vermilion Queen, Summer Ellis!

Summer is 16 years old and a senior at Vermilion High School. After graduation, she plans to pursue a career in education or business, with dreams of one day becoming a teacher or a CEO.

When she’s not in school, Summer enjoys painting, acting, volunteering in our community, and spending time with family and friends.

As our 2026 Festival of the Fish Queen, Summer is proud to represent Vermilion and looks forward to encouraging kindness, community involvement, and hometown pride wherever she goes.

Congratulations, Summer! We know you’ll represent Vermilion with grace, enthusiasm, and a smile all year long.
