Fair Update - July

Carolyn
Wicklein Named 2008 Monroe County Fair Queen
Carolyn
Wicklein, second from left, was crowned as the 2008 Monroe County Fair Queen.
She was also named Miss Congeniality in Sunday’s night opening event of the
Monroe County Fair. Joining her onstage are, left to right, Amanda Stumpf,
second runner-up; Brittany Hempen, first runner-up; and 2007 Monroe County Fair
Queen Emily Hopkins. Wicklein, 18, is the daughter of Bryan and Karen Wicklein.
She graduated from Waterloo High School and will attend Murray State University
in the fall majoring in animal science / pre-veterinary medicine. She was
sponsored by Roider Contracting. Wicklein grew up on a farm in rural Prairie du
Rocher and credits her farm family upbringing and the Waterloo FFA as to making
her the person she is today. “I am proud of where I come from,” said Wicklein.
Her mother, Karen, said Carolyn has been enjoying coming to the fair since she
was a very young child.

During Sunday
evening events at the Monroe County Fair’s horse arena, Kristen Gregson, left,
and her horse Jack won the high point buckle for pee-wee (under-12) class and
reserve high point buckle for junior (under-18) class at the Junior Horse Show.
Taylor Yearian, right, and Cigar won the high point buckle for the Junior Class.
Gregson and Yearian tied for the Junior Buckle, but since Gregson already won a
first-place buckle, she opted to give Yearian the Junior High-Point Buckle.
