As my year as the 2025 Wisconsin Valley Fairest of the Fair comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what an incredible honor this journey has been. Serving in this role has given me the opportunity to meet so many amazing people, support our fair community, and share my passion for agriculture and the traditions that make the Wisconsin Valley Fair so special.
While it’s bittersweet to say goodbye to this role, I know the program is in wonderful hands moving forward.
It is my honor to introduce and congratulate the 2026 Wisconsin Valley Fairest of the Fair, Madison Heise. I know she will represent the Wisconsin Valley Fair with passion, dedication, and pride.
Please join me in welcoming Madison as she begins her year. I can’t wait to see all the amazing things she accomplishes. ❤️👑
Thank you again for allowing me to serve as your 2025 Wisconsin Valley Fairest of the Fair. This experience will always hold a special place in my heart.

🎄✨As the holiday season approaches and the year begins to wrap up, I’ve been reflecting on all the incredible memories from my time as the 2025 Wisconsin Valley Fairest of the Fair - especially our amazing fair week back in August!

Having received all the photos from the fair, I think it’s the perfect time to finally share some of the moments that made this experience so special. 📸
A huge thank you to Sharon Marx Photography for capturing these memories so beautifully.

Serving as the Wisconsin Valley Fairest of the Fair has truly been an honor. From cheering on our exhibitors, to handing out ribbons, to meeting families and fair goers from near and far, fair week was filled with so many unforgettable interactions. Our fair community is full of passion, hard work, and heart - and I’m grateful I got to witness it all up close.

Thank you to everyone who made fair week possible: the fair board, volunteers, staff, exhibitors, and every person who stopped to say hello or share a smile. You are what makes this fair so meaningful.

I’m excited to share some of my favorite highlights below. Here’s to celebrating the memories of fair week as we head into the holiday season! 🎁🌟
