Wisconsin State Fairest of the Fairs Megan Salentine will get to spin around Kewaunee County this weekend to celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence with the community that means so much to her. Salentine captured the crown at last month’s Wisconsin Association of Fairs Annual Convention, besting more than 30 girls from other counties across the state. Heading into last year, time commitments led her to believe that she did not even want to be the Kewaunee County Fairest of the Fair, let alone be the ambassador for the Wisconsin State Fair for the year. A month before the Kewaunee County Fair, organizers asked her to serve as their fairest, eight years after she served as the Junior Fairest of the Fair. When deciding to leap to become the State Fairest, she put her trust in a higher power.
Much like it did when Isabella Haen made the leap from Kewaunee County Fairest of the Fair to the state title, Kewaunee County will celebrate Salentine with a parade around the county beginning at 3 p.m Sunday. before it ends at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds for a celebration from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
