The Wabash County Fair Queen and Princess crownings will take place at 7pm on Sunday, July 14th.
Hello judges,
My name is Miranda Kennard. Im in the 8th grade at Mount Carmel Junior High School. My parents are Rob and Traci Kennard. My dad is a farmer and works at DWR Farms, and my mom is a radiologic technologist for Deaconess. We live out in the country close to Bealls Woods. On our farm we raise chickens, pigs, cows, and we have three swarms of bees. In addition to our farm we have a large garden. My daily chores are to feed the pigs and chickens, collect the chicken eggs and weed the garden.
My 4-h projects are swine, chickens and vet science. The current hobbies are golf, riding my bike, and spending quality time outside. This year I placed third at the SIJHSAA state golf tournament. Along with my hobbies me and my family always go hunting in the fall for deer and in the spring for turkeys. I take vet science, because in the future I would like to be a veterinarian, and each year in doing so I have learned and gained new knowledge I did not quite know before. During my freshman year next year I plan to do FFA. Another hobby of mine is the science fair this year I qualified and made it all the way to state! At state I received a gold star rating on my project " The Disappearing Eggshell"
I would like to be the princess, because I'm very dedicated to 4-h and always looking for new ways to show my dedication to it. I am currently a 5 five 4-h member and was a cloverbud for 2 years. Each year the fair has strengthened my work ethic and my dedication to 4-h as well. In addition during the fair I have made lifelong friends. My favorite thing about the fair is the pork chop dinner. The pork chops are alway delicious I believe Mike Wilson has mastered how to cook them to perfection. Thank you for your time.
Thanks to my sponsor DWR Farms.
Hello, my name is Lola Meador. I am the daughter of Tyson & Morgan Meador. I am 13 years old and I am a member of the Allendale Twisters 4H club. This is my 3rd year in 4H.
My 4H projects include swine and sewing. I have always loved going to 4H shows and even helped my friends show their goats.
Outside of 4H I play golf and am a member of the MCJHS cheer team. I love both of these sports and the time I get to spend with my friends while participating in them. This year I was also in the Wizard of Oz at WVC and discovered I love theatre. For my 8th grade year I am trying out for SLC and joining Jr. High choir.
If I am chosen as princess, I will do my best to be a good role model, help the younger 4H members, and represent the Wabash County 4H fair to the best of my ability.
I want to thank my sponsor Tropic Tan for supporting me this year! I look forward to seeing you all at the fair.
My name is Gillian Hodgson. I am 14 years old. My mother is Natalie Hodgson and my father is Geoff Hodgson. I am the oldest of 5 children. I belong to the Allendale Twisters 4-H club.
In 4-H, my interests include my quarter horse, Playboy; and vegetable and flower gardening. My hobbies are crocheting, ranch sorting, baking, riding four wheelers, and hanging out with friends. My first goal this year is to increase my participation in ranch sorting competitions and to better my scores. My second goal is to learn to barrel race and enter competitions. I have been developing a pie baking class and so my third goal for the year is to be ready and offer at least one class to the public.
I am participating in the contest because I am inspired by my good friend who was princess last year. She loved the whole experience which made me excited to be able to participate in running for fair princess this year.
If I am chosen to be princess, I will do my best to be someone other people look up to and make other young girls excited to have the same opportunity I have right now. I would like to share with other youth what I have learned in 4-H.
Thank you, Short Cunningham Funeral Home for sponsoring me, and to everyone who has helped me get to the place I am right now.
