Welcome to the Brown County 2012 Fairest of the Fair site. We would like to thank you for your interest in this program and encourage your participation. The elements to enter and review important details are right here with important dates, eligibility requirements and easy application process.

The Brown County Fair is excited to resurrect the Fairest of the Fair program after an absence of more than 25 years. Our Fairest will represent the Brown County Fair as a media spokesperson and official host for the 2012 Brown County Fair. Our Fairest will promote the enormous variety of educational, social and economic opportunities available at the Fair and will work with the Board in an effort to increase participation and attendance at the Brown County Fair. Our Fairest will serve a one year term and will also compete in the State Fairest of the Fairs competition in January, 2013.

All individuals (male or female) that are at least 18 years old as of January 1, 2012 and that have been a resident of Brown County a minimum of three (3) years are welcome to apply. Entry deadline is postmarked Thursday, March 15th, 2012.

The competition and gala will be held on Sunday, April 29th, 2012 at the Tundra Lodge & Conference Center in Green Bay to crown the 2012 Brown County Fairest of the Fair. We would encourage any interested persons to explore this wonderful opportunity. Thank you and we look forward to the return of this great event.

Sincerely,

Ron Van Dyck
