Claire Olson will be more than just a trivia answer when she officially finishes her reign as Door County’s first Fairest of the Fair on Wednesday night. The UW-River Falls agriculture studies major was crowned as the 2018 Fairest just before last year’s Door County Fair and has since attended several events in the area including parades and a performance of Northern Sky Theater’s “Dairy Heirs.” Olson says she has been imparting some of what she learned during her time onto the 2019 Door County Fairest of the Fair, Katie Guilette.
Even after she helps crown Guilette on Wednesday during a ceremony held on the midway at 7 p.m., Olson will still represent Door County at the Wisconsin Fairest of the Fair competition held in Wisconsin Dells in January.
