The Reading Fair

Elizabeth Voight 2018 Pennsylvania State Fair Queen


I was honored to attend The Reading Fair, on August 5th!  I started off my visit by meeting with the newly crowned Reading Fair Queen and Reading Fair Alternate Queen.  I was then given a tour of the fair.  Of course we had to start off the tour in the barns!  My favorite place to visit.  I enjoyed touring and admiring the indoor exhibits.  The eating contest was defiantly the most interesting event I have attended so far!  I then had the pleasure of speaking and helping to hand some awards out to the volunteers at The Reading Fair.  It was another great fair to attend.  Thank you, Reading 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!
