The Fairest will promote a wide variety of educational, social, and economic opportunities available at the Fair. As ambassador, they will work hand-in-hand with the Brown County Fair Board to increase participation and attendance for the 2012 Brown County Fair. The Fairest will serve a one year term and will also compete in the State Fairest of the Fairs competition in January, 2013. 

Steve Corrigan, President of the Brown County Fair Association, said of the search, “We greatly look forward to reviving the Fairest of the Fair role after more than 25 years and we anticipate the excitement this change will bring about for our annual event. Crowning our Fairest will be a great way to share more about what our wonderful Brown County Fair has to offer. There is so much for guests to do and see that we are excited to have a talented representative to speak for us.”

To apply for the role of Fairest of the Fair, all applicants (male or female) must be at least 18 years old as of January 1, 2012 and must have resided in Brown County for a minimum of three years.
