2018 Allamakee County Fair Royalty ...

The annual Allamakee County Fair Queen Pageant was held Tuesday, July 17 at the Allamakee County Fairgrounds Pavilion in Waukon, kicking off the 165th Allamakee County Fair. The four area young ladies pictured in the photo above were all vying for this year’s Fair Queen crown, which was bestowed upon Madalyn Ellingson (far left), daughter of John and Bethany Ellingson of Waukon. Faith Palmer (far right), daughter of John and Meghan Palmer of Waukon, was named the Allamakee County Fair Princess. All four young ladies served as the Allamakee County Fair Royalty Team throughout this year’s fair. Pictured, left to right, are Madalyn Ellingson, Katelyn Leiran, Makayla Manning and Faith Palmer. Ellingson will now advance on to represent Allamakee County in the 2018 Iowa State Fair Queen competition, with coronation being held August 11 in Des Moines.
