We have a Fair Queen!
Last night was a BIG night for Clark County Fair Fans! Our 2016 Fair Court Queen was crowned!
You might remember that three princesses were selected on the last night of the Fair back in August. Since then, Mikaela, Shaylee, and Serenity have been keeping very busy learning about how to talk to the media and be in the public eye and be ambassadors for The Best County Fair on the Planet.
Last night, our 2016 Queen was announced as the three probably-nervous-but-totally-holding-it-together young women opened large boxes containing balloons. As the balloons sprung out of the boxes, it was Serenity Gibbs who was standing behind the box with the royal purple balloon floating above her head. Hooray Queen Serenity!!
Keep your eyes out in the months ahead for Queen Serenity and her Princess Court all around Clark County and the Portland metro. Parades, community events, farmers markets, rodeos…the girls will be busy getting the word out about the 2016 Clark County Fair. It starts on Friday, August 5. Mark your calendars! Mine has been marked for months.
Just 179 days ’til FAIR!!

I am a Clark County Fair Fanatic and eat all things fried during the glorious 10 days of The Fair. I have lived in Clark County since 2004 and consider it the second-best decision of my life. I am married to a great guy named Rob (first-best decision) who graciously carries my stuff and takes my picture every time I eat something at The Fair. We have two indoor cats and lots of deer, rabbits, and coyotes who are kind enough to stay outside.
