You can say hello to the newest Kewaunee County Fairest of the Fair and Junior Fairest of the Fair the next time you attend a local event. Dozens of people celebrated the crowning of Vicki Christoph as the Fairest of the Fair and Vivian Barta as the Junior Fairest of the Fair during the annual Kewaunee County Fairest of the Fair Gala at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds Friday night. Christoph, Barta, and Kaylyn Grace Martin participated in the process, including an interview with the judge’s panel, a mock introduction of a fair event, and a pitch for their live auction basket. Christoph has been showing dairy cattle for over a decade but did not get involved with the Kewaunee County Fair until five years ago. She relishes the opportunity to promote agriculture in her community
On the flip side, Barta has been involved with the fair for as long as she can remember, showing hogs alongside her cousins and siblings and other exhibits. She is excited to experience the fair from the Junior Fairest point of view.
Martin is similar to Christoph as she also did not get involved with the Kewaunee County Fair until a few years ago. She is looking forward to a summer full of inspiring young girls and boys to pursue their interests, whatever they may be, as a member of the Fairest Court.
The trio will spend the next year as advocates for the Kewaunee County Fair, scheduled for July 11th to July 14th. Outgoing Kewaunee County Fairest of the Fair Vanessa Van Pay will compete against her counterparts from other counties for Wisconsin Fairest of the Fair from January 7th through January 10th during the Wisconsin Association of Fairs Convention in Wisconsin Dells.
