⭐️Natalie Eshleman⭐️

“I am incredibly excited to be a candidate for the 2026 Miss Denver Fair title!”-Natalie

The Denver Fair holds a special place in Natalie’s heart, and some of her fondest memories were made there. From spending Kiddie Day with her grandmother and earning second place in the Youth Arts Coloring Contest to showcasing her pumpkin in the Decorating Contest, admiring the livestock, and feeding animals in the petting zoo, the fair has been a cherished part of Natalies childhood. Each year, she looks forward to ending a fantastic week filled with food, family, and friends as dazzling fireworks lit up the dark night sky.

Natalie is currently a senior at Cocalico High School, where she competes on the varsity swimming and lacrosse teams. Natalie is an American Red Cross-certified lifeguard at the Ephrata Recreation Center, and she also serves as an Aevidum Club Leader, promoting positive mental health and su***de prevention awareness among teens throughout Lancaster County, a cause that is very important to her. This fall, she is excited to begin giving back to the community as a Teen Health Volunteer at WellSpan Ephrata. After graduation, Natalie plans to continue advocating for health and well-being while attending Saint Joseph's University to pursue a career in diagnostic medical imaging.

In her free time, Natalie enjoy baking sweet treats, fishing, creating ceramics, and spending time with her family and friends. However, her greatest passion has always been reading. As a little girl, she would stay up past her bedtime, surrounded by books, completely immersed in a story.
