Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/05/2019 - 8:27am

Hello, I am Libby Fuller, the 2018-2019 New Glarus Dairy Queen. My parents are Ben and Laurie Fuller.
As my year comes to a close, there are many memories that come to mind. It has been a very busy year, and I have enjoyed every minute. I attended all of the New Glarus festivals, the Green County Fair and the Wisconsin State Fair, as well as the Boone County Fair, passing out cheese and talking to so many people about agriculture and our great dairy industry. I have been so proud to represent my hometown of New Glarus.
