Danielle
Pretto, right, and her rooster have won the Grand Champion ribbon at the Monroe
County Fair’s rooster crowing contest for three straight years. This year her
rooster crowed 58 times during the one-half hour contest. The other ribbon
winners were Jenna Schneider, first place; Seth Heard, second place; Lauren
Marquardt, third place; and Wyatt Drew, fourth place. Congratulating Pretto on
her victory are Little Miss Heather Albert and Fair Queen Carolyn Wicklein,
