Faith Lee, daughter of KC and Clifton Lee, has been crowned this year's Fair Queen, and we couldn't be prouder to call her our neighbor!

As Fair Queen, Faith will help promote the fair (July 30–Aug 2) and join the royalty board in presenting ribbons to all the winning entries.

Keep an eye out for her as she makes her way through the grounds throughout the fair and be sure to say congratulations!
