Over the weekend, the 2018 Miss Logan County Fair Queen Molly Schempp represented Logan County nicely at the 60th Annual Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant. The pageant and the 2019 Illinois Association of Agricultural Fairs Convention was held at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield.

During the four day period, Molly participated in several rehearsals as well as the competition. She also had the opportunity to take a walk through the convention.

"Her hard work and determination through these last five months was truly shown on stage," said Logan County Fair Queen coordinator Bethany Rademaker. "We can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store."

Rademaker added, " Thank you Logan County for your never ending support! And, congratulations to Alexi Bladel from Winnebago County who was selected as the 2019 Miss Illinois County Fair Queen."

Molly competed against 70 other County Fair Queens, and we are confident that she made a sizable impression at the convention as well as the contest.
