Hannah reflects: “I have known that the Calumet County Fair was special to me and that I wanted to become the Fairest of the Fair since my sister was the 2010 Junior Fairest of the Fair. Since then I have watched ten amazing Fairest of the Fair represent the Calumet County Fair. It is now my privilege to serve as the Fairest of the Fairs, promote and represent my second home. A part of me was missing last year when the fair was canceled due to the Corona Virus pandemic. It is time to RE-FOCUS on FUN at the 2021 Calumet County Fair”!
