You will find new faces reigning over the Kewaunee County Fair this summer. Grace LeGrave was crowned Kewaunee County Fairest of the Fair and Lexi Rivera was named Junior Fairest of the Fair during a crowning competition and ceremony held at the fairgrounds' expo hall Friday night.

LeGrave was the 2015 Kewaunee County Junior Fairest of the Fair and helped start the county's rabbit hopping program. She earned her 4-H Key Award in 2019 and earned her Bronze and Silver Awards through Girl Scouts. She is currently a student at Fox Valley Technical College studying to be a veterinary technician.

Rivera attends Pulaski High School, but has become heavily involved in the Kewaunee County 4-H Dog Project and in the Bells of Luxemburg 4-H Club. She is also a member of her school's FFA chapter and was a member of the National Junior Honor Society.  

LeGrave and Mackayla DeBaker competed for the Fairest crown while Rivera and Evangeline Robinson went against each other for Junior Fairest. Each contestant had to complete a 10-minute interview with the judge's panel before going in front of friends, family, and Fairest supporters to introduce themselves, announce an event, and answer an impromptu question about being the Fairest of the Fair.

In addition to becoming the faces of the 105th Kewaunee County Fair when it takes place in July, LeGrave and Rivera will have the opportunity to visit other events in the area as Fairest and Junior Fairest.  You can listen to our interview with LeGrave and Rivera below.
