It’s true that it takes many hands and countless hours of work to prepare for a fair and ensure that it runs smoothly. One of the figures contributing to that hard work is the Fairest of the Fair.
Sharlene Swedlund is this year’s Green County Fairest of the Fair. She shares more about what it looked like to run for the position and how she has helped get ready for the fair.
Swedlund explains that she was working way before the week of the fair. She has been busy almost every weekend visiting events and promoting the fair. She also took to social media to help draw in an even bigger audience.
Now that the fair is here, Swedlund gives a glimpse of her day as the Fairest. She arrives early to share pictures of exhibitors working with animals, attends shows throughout the day, and gets fairgoers excited about all aspects of the fair.
Swedlund’s biggest piece of advice for future Fairests is to stay humble. She shares that being kind and giving everyone a smile can go a long way.
