Elizabeth Voight 2018 Pennsylvania State Fair Queen


On August 26th, I was honored to attend the Erie County Fair!  Once I arrived at the fair, I was immediately given a tour by the Queen Coordinator's daughter!  We stopped by the Erie County Fair Museum and were given several facts about the history of this fair.  Then, it was off to the 2018 Erie County Fair Queen contest.  This is where I met up with the 2017 Erie County Fair Queen!  She told me all about her wonderful year as a queen!  I then sat with the visiting royalty and just loved meeting all of them!  During the queen contest I had the privilege of speaking about the importance of Agriculture in Pennsylvania.   Thank you Erie County Fair for a most pleasant day!

Elizabeth Voight 2018 Pennsylvania State Fair Queen January 20, 2018 marked the beginning of a new journey for me as the 2018 Pennsylvania State Fair Queen...and an INCREDIBLE journey it was!  Looking back on my year, I have nothing but fond memories of the many people I have met and the opportunities I have experienced.  I began my journey with a love for agriculture that was instilled in me as a young farm girl, and I now end my reign with a passion for agriculture, fairs and the communities that support the farming industry.  I am grateful for the many people that supported me along my journey.  Thank you to the PSACF for giving me the amazing opportunity to serve as your Pennsylvania Fair Queen.  To the Lebanon Area Fair, I am appreciative for the continued support and encouragement.  Many thanks to the wonderful fairs that invited me to come for a visit and who embraced me with the warmest hospitality.  Special thanks to my family for the...

Manheim Community Farm Show

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!

Ephrata Fair

Elizabeth Voight 2018 Pennsylvania State Fair Queen Following a visit to the Bloomsburg fair, it was off to the Ephrata Fair!  I was so honored to be a small part of the 100 year celebration for the Ephrata Fair!  What a tribute to the many volunteers who have joined together to make this fair a success for so many years.  Unfortunately, like many fairs, throughout the state the weather was not ideal and it rained, causing some of the events to be cancelled or moved indoors.  But that did not stop the opening ceremonies for the 100 year to occur!  Many special visitors payed a visit to take part in this ceremony.  I was proud to join in the celebration and speak a little bit about my role as the Pennsylvania State Fair Queen.  Congratulations to the Ephrata Fair for reaching 100 years!  It was just a pleasure to attend the Ephrata Fair!
