“It’s my platform to be able to get out and talk to all of the kids across the county and to get more exhibitors to be at the fair,” Getz said.
The new fair queen thanked her family, her 4-H advisers and her livestock coaches for getting her to this point. Getz also received a community service award.
Getz is also a member of the junior fair board, she shows market lambs and she has taken quilting projects at the fair.
