Will there be international coverage if it ends in court?

There should be! So far coverage has been limited to The Bucyrus Telegraph Forum but I am doing what I can to broaden awareness of this possible travesty.

The festival committee is claiming she broke her agreement by attending a luncheon in violation of her contract.

Abigail Brocwell's contract with the Bucyrus Bratwurst Festival Board of Directors was terminated after she attended a festival luncheon in direct violation of the board's instructions, the board's president said in a letter sent to media on Tuesday.
...
Brocwell told board members she had attended festivals on Aug. 4 and Aug. 5 and didn't see why her travel on Aug. 6 was a concern, Heinlen wrote.

"The board explained to Ms. Brocwell that by attending the luncheon, she interrupted the duties of another girl who had been delegated as a Bratwurst Festival representative, as directed by the board, for that luncheon," he wrote. "The board asked Ms. Brocwell if she sat with or acknowledged her fellow court members, and she stated that she did not. The board reiterated the items addressed in the Aug. 3 meeting and explained that, as stated in the letter suspending travel, her attendance of festivals on Aug. 4 and Aug. 5 were not in violation of the suspension as she asked the board before attending, attended in everyday clothes and did not attend luncheons. Her travel on Aug. 6, however, was in formal attire and was a luncheon that already had representation from the festival."

There is considerably more detail in the article but it is all from the festival committee's perspective. I'm waiting to see how Abbie responds to this.
