The announcement that Alexis Nickelotti from Genoa is the new Fairest of the Fair.   The 2008 graduate of DeSoto High School represented Vernon county in the event.  She'll now assume the responsibillities of ambassador for all of Wisconsin's county fairs - and ultimately cap off her duties as ambassador at the Wisconsin State Fair this August.

 

Aside from her activities connected to county fairs - Alexis is also active with the Wisconsin FFA.

The Fairest of the Fair announcement capped off the 2011 Wisconsin Fair Association conference and annual meeting in Wisconsin Dells.
