Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs

I am so thrilled it is Fair Season in Wisconsin! This summer, I’ll be traveling to over 50 fairs throughout the state and serving as the official ambassador for the Wisconsin State Fair presented by US Cellular, happening July 31^st – August 10^th. I am excited to witness the people, passion, and purpose in the fair industry.

I grew up with a fair family while exhibiting dairy and pigs each summer, as the county fair was a holiday in my household, and an event that my siblings and I looked forward to each year. Aside from animal exhibits, I also showed quilts and rubber stamping, leather craft and cake decorating. These projects allowed me to explore my creative side and helped me learn about the uniqueness of the fair industry. There really is a place for everyone!

Throughout the first half of my year as WI Fairest of the Fairs, I’ve attended several events including county Fairest crownings and dairy breakfasts. As I look ahead to my summer schedule, I’m super excited to share my fair story and promote the industry while on the road. You can catch me at a county/district fair this summer or at the best 11 days of summer, the Wisconsin State Fair! Please say hi if you see me, I’d love to connect about a greater love for the fair!

Fair season and the Wisconsin State Fair hold so many memories for me, and I’m sure they can hold memories for you, too. Visit www.wifairs.com to learn more about the 74 county and district fairs throughout the state. Check out their entertainment schedules to see the happenings of the day. When visiting a fair, take time to visit with an exhibitor to find out why they are passionate about the fair and their purpose for exhibiting. You’ll be amazed by what they are learning.
