For one weekend every January, the Hershey Lodge is filled
with many advocates of agriculture from county fair boards attending the
Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs State Convention! During this convention, fair queens from all
over the Keystone state compete for the title of Pennsylvania State Fair Queen.
I was
given the opportunity to travel to Hershey with my mother, my Uncle Denny, my
fair queen moms and some of the amazing people that make up our fair board to
compete for the 2015 PA State Fair Queen title!
The competition consisted of an evening gown contest with an
introduction, an essay, an interview and a speech contest. Although I was as busy as I could be, I was
blessed to have met 58 amazing, talented young women who made this weekend
memorable while attending seminars, the judges’ reception and the Queen’s
party! Those three days, I made lots of
memories and friends who love agriculture just as much as I do and learned that
just being me can take me anywhere!
Thank
you to the Huntingdon County Fair Board for allowing me to compete in this
contest and supporting me! To my fair
queen moms, thank you for the endless hours of scrapbooking, making me practice
my speech when I didn’t want to and most of all, making me laugh and
smile! My mom, thank you for riding to
Hershey with me, making sure I was everywhere at least 20 minutes early and fixing
my hair and sash! Uncle Denny, thank you
for braving the weather Saturday morning to come to the coronation banquet and
being part of my journey! And to you,
Huntingdon County residents, I can’t thank you enough for the all the support
you have given me! I may not have won
the state title but being the Huntingdon County Fair Queen is the best title I
will ever be given!
