June Dairy Month is providing the community involvement opportunity that Kewaunee County Fairest of the Fair Kiley Pagel has been looking for since she officially received her crown in January. Pagel and her Junior Fairest, Morgan Servaes, are usually a few events into their reign by this time of the year as they ramp up their promotion of the Kewaunee County Fair. COVID-19 has changed that with many of those events canceled or postponed. This month she teamed up with the Kewaunee County Dairy Promotion Committee to distribute ice cream at area schools and supermarkets. A member of a dairy farm family herself, Pagel says it has been nice to finally lend a helping hand in the community.

She is not alone as a county Fairest without a fair, with approximately 40 of them canceled for 2020. Pagel says they are connecting with the other Fairests in the region to see how they could collaborate.
