🌟 BOARD MEMBER SPOTLIGHT 🌟

Meet Kaydra Heller, the President of the Jo Daviess County Fair Board and a dedicated fair advocate for an incredible 13 years! 🎡❤️

From planning and organizing to making sure every detail comes together, Kaydra has helped shape countless fair memories over the years. Her favorite part of fair week? Seeing months of hard work come to life through the smiles, laughter, and excitement spread across the fairgrounds. 😊✨

When she’s not busy with fair activities, Kaydra enjoys running with her dog—even in the dark! 🐾🌙 And if you’re looking for her during fair week, there’s a good chance you’ll find her at Mud Volleyball or grabbing a fresh lemonade and a steak sandwich. 🍋🥩
