Hello, I'm Alexis Nickelotti your 2011 Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs. I grew up on a small Dairy farm just outside of Genoa, with my large family. My parents are Steve and Gina and my four younger siblings are Erica, Maggie, Trisha, and Paul. We all have been active in 4-H since since a young age, showing swine at the Vernon County Fair. One of my favorite swine showing experiences took place my senior year of high school when I painted my pigs toes bright red. This even caught the attention of the judges, who didn't seem to agree with me and kicked me out of the show ring earlier then I had planned. I had also exhibited crops and ceramics for as long as I could remember.

I graduated from De Soto High in 2008 and I am currently a Junior at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. At Platteville I study Business Marketing and Biology for a minor. I hope to one day work at the Chicago Board of Trade or be a Chiropractor. I have been active in UW-Platteville cheerleading and UW-Platteville Housing since I was a freshmen. I am also involved in Habitat for Humanity, Relay for Life, and the American Red Cross. I enjoy volunteering, because someone once said to me, "Volunteering is your rent for living in this world" and I thought that was pretty cool.

I am honored to be named your 2011 Fairest of the Fairs and I am so excited for all of the new experiences that will come with it.
