Elizabeth Voight 2018 Pennsylvania State Fair Queen

On March 20, 2018 I was invited to speak to the general public about Agriculture at the First Citizens Bank!  I worked a booth that provided information on crops and agriculture.  Many people were very interested in what I was explaining to them.  Special thanks to First Citizens Bank for inviting me!

Oley Valley Community Fair

Elizabeth Voight 2018 Pennsylvania State Fair Queen On first day of fall (September 22), I traveled to northeast Pennsylvania to be a part of the Oley Valley Community Fair!  The fair President, Mr. Kevin Bieber, greeted me and gave me a wonderful tour of the fair!  All fairs are truly unique and one of the interesting events at this fair is the pumpkin growing contest.  This year's winner produced a pumpkin weighing over 700 pounds!  The food stands operating at Oley Valley were headed up by volunteers throughout the community.  The community presence was certainly evident throughout the fair!  I enjoyed eating the delicious french fries and a creamy vanilla milkshake.  Following the meal I spent the rest of my time working in the milkshake stand.  Thank you, Oley Valley Community Fair!

Elizabeth Voight 2018 Pennsylvania State Fair Queen On October 8, I visited the Manheim Community Farm Show...the LAST fair.  What a nice way to wrap up my fair travels!  Upon arrival I was given a tour of the fairs grounds.  Pumpkins, corn shucks, and lights lined the walk ways showcasing some products from the harvest season.  2017 Manheim Community Farm Show Queen, Emily Witmer, greeted me and we enjoyed catching up!  I had the pleasure of getting to know her well at the state convention in January.  I then, took part in their royalty ceremony and spoke about my role as the Pennsylvania State Fair Queen.  I was honored to participate in their ceremony as they crowned their new queen.  What I admired most about this fair was the strong sense of community!  Special thanks to the Manheim Community Farm Show for your warm hospitality and a wonderful evening!
