The
Fairest of the Fair serves as a year-round ambassador for the largest free
event in the county. What does that mean? It’s not exactly a free ride on the
Ferris wheel, though these arrangements can be made. This ambassador serves as
the official host of the Fair set for July 12-17. Yet, the fun and excitement
doesn’t stop there. The right person will continue to speak out about the Sauk
County Fair, promoting and educating the community about its agricultural,
social and economic opportunities for the entire family.
In
return for sharing time and talent, this ambassador gets to travel to exotic
places such as the Witwen Fourth of July parade and Loganville-Friendship 4-H
Club meeting, as well as the Wisconsin Fairest of the Fair competition in Green
Bay in January. The ambassador also gains leadership and public speaking
experiences, good for use in any future career. And, Badgerland Farm Credit
Services provides an education savings bond while the Sauk County Agricultural
Society provides a travel stipend.
