The Wisconsin Association of Fairs and the Wisconsin State Fair Park officials are excited to have Cayley Vande Berg serve as the 2021 Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs.
The Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs program was created 55 years ago to select an ambassador for the Wisconsin Association of Fairs, which represents 75 county, district and state fairs in Wisconsin.
Each year, the Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs travels throughout the state promoting the educational, agricultural, social, cultural and commercial opportunities available at Wisconsin’s great fairs. It is a position of responsibility to the citizens of our great state, and the winner must possess excellent communication skills as well as organization, professionalism and a passion for the fair industry.
Vande Berg responsibilities include appearances at fairs and events throughout the state, working with media and promoting the importance of Wisconsin’s fair and agriculture industries.
In addition, she will serve as an ambassador of the 2021 Wisconsin State Fair, presented by U.S. Cellular, which will take place August 5 - 15. This includes greeting fairgoers and special guests, performing as the master of ceremonies for several events, participating in various contests, and representing State Fair during select media appearances.
