Meet The Wabash County Fair Queen Contestants: Glenna McVaigh

Fair Queen Contestant #1 Glenna McVaigh

Hey y’all, I’m Glenna McVaigh daughter of Tracee McVaigh and the late Jim McVaigh. I'm 19 years old and a graduate of Mount Carmel High School. I’m getting ready to start my sophomore year at Wabash Valley College. There I am pursuing a degree in Agricultural Business and Production. I am currently interning for Wabash Valley Service Co. in Browns, IL. In high school, I was a member of the National Honor Society, and FFA. I am currently a member of the First Apostolic Church in Mount Carmel, National Technical Honor Society, PAS, Wabash County Farm Bureau, FFA alumni, and 4-H. I have been in 4-H since my cloverbud years and before that I assisted my sister during shows at the fair as well. 

     Through the years, I have shown every animal you see out at the county fair. My heart will always go to my horses and showing pigs! In the future, I plan on owning my own farm where I raise quarter horses, along with other farm animals, and work on expanding myself within the agricultural world. Outside of the family farm and work, you’ll find me at church or the gym. I wouldn’t have gotten where I am if it wasn’t for God being alongside me every step of the way! 

     The reason I am running for Wabash County Fair Queen is to show other girls younger than me that it’s good to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. At the end of the day,  you are the only one who can apply yourself and put yourself out there. I want to show the younger generations that being yourself is better than fitting into the crowd. I also want to shout out to my sponsor Wabash Valley Service Co. for helping me in my running for Wabash County Fair Queen! They have not only been an amazing sponsor, but amazing people to work with who support me and encourage me everyday.
