Allamakee County Fair Royalty ...

Coronation of the 2023 Allamakee County Fair Royalty took place Tuesday, July 18 at the Allamakee County Fairgrounds Pavilion in Waukon, kicking off the 170th Allamakee County Fair. Four area young ladies were vying for this year’s Fair Queen crown, which was bestowed upon Natalie Byrnes (third from left in photo above), daughter of Dan and Traci Byrnes of Waukon. Mallory Mohn (second from left in photo above), daughter of Clint and Noelle Mohn of Lansing, was crowned Allamakee County Fair Princess. All four of this year’s candidates served as the 2023 Allamakee County Fair Royalty Team throughout this year’s Fair.
