2017 Fairest of the Fair Bids Farewell

Submitted by admin on Wed, 03/14/2018 - 8:42am

Hello everyone, my name is Rachel Gilson, the 2017 Green County Fairest of the Fair. My year as the Fairest is quickly coming to an end, and this experience has been nothing but amazing. Throughout the year, I have been busy traveling around Green County attending events, festivals, and parades to encourage others to visit the fair and see projects that the county's youth worked hard on all year. I also competed for the 2018 Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs position, where I was able to learn more about county fairs in Wisconsin and made new friends along the way.
