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 their unending support and guidance. 

Elizabeth Voight 2018 Pennsylvania State Fair Queen On January 5-12, I took part in the 103rd Pennsylvania Farm Show!  It is the nation's largest indoor agricultural exposition under one roof, with near 6,000 animals, 10,000 competitive exhibits and 300 commercial exhibits, and attended by over 400,000 people.  I had the opportunity to participate in many events including the PA Preferred VIP Reception, a photo opportunity with other commodity representatives and Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding, the Opening Ceremonies, the Livestock Sale of Champions and the Celebrity Draft Horse Team Driving Contest!  Also, I enjoyed exhibiting my Angus cattle.  Many thanks to all the Farm Show staff, volunteers, exhibitors, and consumers who made this event such a success!
