4-H Beef & Dairy Show today was a success thanks to some amazing 4-H members, families, volunteers, and show staff!

Shout out to 4-H show judge Cody Hadden of Jacksonville for working with our 4-H members and their animal projects! Thanks to Randi Riemann our show superintendent and announcer for the morning’s events and running a smooth show!

Our newly crowned Fair Royalty swung by to support the beef show and we were excited that our very own Macoupin County 4-H member Charlee Steward was crowned Jr. Miss Mac Co Fair last night! Way to go Charlee! Thanks also to Queen Ruby Lowder and Little Miss Mae Lewis-Hahn!

As her Crown Cares Project, Queen Alyssa gave the Queen’s Trailer a much-needed refresh with new landscaping!

A huge thank you to Kahl’s Greenhouse for the plants, H&H Transit for the mulch, Wayne Decker of Pine Ridge Mobile Home Transport for the skirting, and a few fair board members and volunteers for a fresh coat of stain on our stairs. We appreciate your generosity and support in helping beautify our fairgrounds!

It was a fun, but busy evening as our contestants continue preparing for next week!

Our Little Miss contestants spent time chatting with the Miss contestants as they practiced for their interview, then enjoyed a special visit from Northwestern FFA member Maycee Hampton. Maycee read The Cheerful Chick, shared some “chick food” and surprised the girls with a Macoupin County Fair coloring sheet and crayons to take home.

Meanwhile, our Junior Miss contestants wrapped up their on-stage practice with a craft and plenty of laughter!

We have a wonderful group of contestants this year and can’t wait to watch them shine on Wednesday!
