Appearance Requests

We are excited to have the Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs (WI FOTF), Kaelie Billingsly, visit your event. At that time we will have two different request forms; one for an appearance at your fair and one for a non fair appearance.

The "Non Fair Appearance" form should be used for businesses not hosting a fair and for fairs requesting an event that does not take place during the fair. Those fairs that fall during the WI State Fair are encouraged to invite the WI FOTF sometime other than fair. Events like dairy breakfasts, fairest crowning, and media events would be great appearances. We ask that you request the WIFOTF at least six weeks in advance, when possible, so we have time to coordinate requests. The WI FOTF will connect with you at least 30 days prior to your event. Not all appearance requests can be made, but we will do our best.

The "Fair Appearance" form will allow fairs to put two appearance options for fair time on the same request form. We ask that all event appearance requests be submitted by May 15 for the June-September fair season. The WI FOTF will not be confirming their June-September calendar until they begin working full-time after Memorial Day. The WI FOTF will connect with you at least 30 days prior to your event. Not all appearance requests can be made, but we will do our best.

Thanks so much for considering inviting the WI FOTF to your event. More details to come!

Local Fairest Visiting Another Fair

Looking to visit a Wisconsin Fair other than the one you represent at Fairest? Be sure to ask before you attend. Each WI Fair Member has the authority to decide if you can attend their Fair in tiara and sash. Though not all of our Wisconsin Fairs have Fairest Programs, they may have other dignitary in place to assist at the Fair. It is best practice to be invited to attend another Fair.

The WAF Board of Directors, approved the following guideline:

Visiting Another Fair: If a local Fairest of the Fair wishes to attend a Fair they do not represent while wearing their tiara and sash, WAF approves that the local Fairest of the Fair must be invited by the other Fair or receive approval from that Fair before attending in their tiara and sash.
