2011 Ohio Fair Queen, Lara Staples, passed her crown over to Stark County Madison Weber at the 2012 Fair Managers Convention. Talking to fair board directors from all over the state we were told about Lara’s contributions as Queen to their county fair. Everyone was so impressed with her accomplishments (95 fairs, 18,000 miles, 8 days at the state fair, and 2 out of state fairs) personality and her smile. We would like to thank Lara for representing Brown Co. and hope all her dreams come true. At the awards banquet our own Becky Cropper won the Fair Supporter Award for District Four. We enjoyed another great convention with many new ideas and many topics of fair business covered by the state of Ohio.

WOW what a year, 18,000+ miles + 95 fairs + 8 days at the state fair + 2 out-of-state fairs = 1 fantastic summer!!

When I was crowned last January, my expectations of the summer were nothing compared to what it turned out to be. From meeting celebrities, such as Rodney Atkins, Blake Shelton, Kellie Pickler, Steel Magnolia, Lee Brice, Josh Thompson, and Confederate Railroad to meeting the wonderful fair board members and royalty of each county; from mud bogging, racing ducks, being flushed in the flush tank, and judging rooster crowing and bubble blowing contests to handing out ribbons at various shows, talking on the radio, touring each and every fairground, and watching demolitior derbies, truck and tractor pulls, rough trucks, and combine derbies; from traveling with my family members and friends around the great buckeye state of Ohio to learning about the history behind our fairs and their agriculture; from the bottom of my heart to yours, I want to thank each and every one of you for making my year as the 2011 Ohio Fair's Queen an experience that I will never forget!
