It’s crazy to think that my year as Miss Denver Fair is already almost over! It feels like just yesterday I was getting the crown placed on my head by Addie Musser. There is so much to remember and it’s all been an amazing whirlwind of fun! I’ve been so blessed with the opportunities for activities and events that I don’t even know where to start! The beginning is always a good place to start, so I’ll start at the fair. I was able to hand out awards in the livestock exhibit for pigs, goats, and sheep. I was then also able to help at the livestock auction. Later in the week my fair queen duties consisted of engaging with the community’s kids at Kiddie Day, showcasing items at the chainsaw carving auction, and starting the first annual 5K run. My favorite memory of the fair week was walking around the grounds for hours and talking to all the vendors and attendees. As much fun as the fair was, this was only the beginning of my events.

Over the course of the year, I was able to participate in: Discover Denver, talking about our fair to representatives at the capital for Queen Advocacy Day, lighting of the Christmas tree outside of Denver’s borough hall, Wreaths Across America, Denver Lions Club meetings, reading to Denver and Adamstown elementary students during National Ag Literacy Week, the 8th annual Fair benefit auction, and the PA State Fair Queen convention. During the State Convention, I was awarded the title of Miss Congeniality by my fellow queens for my personality, compassion, and respectfulness. I am very proud of this title, and I am overall happy with the entire convention. I met so many other queens from across the state and made new friendships that I hope will last a long time.

Interacting with the community has been such a huge honor and I thank everyone for their support. I have had some personal struggles over the past year, but having such an amazing community to support me has meant so much to me. Thank you for the honor of crowning m both People’s choice award and Miss Denver Fair 2025, it really means a lot!
