| Erie Co Fair Queen |
So, My first reaction was shock.
I honestly didn't expect it.
I met some great people and had the toughest competition that has beaten me out before.
I prepared like never before! My mom even made me walk around with books on my head! lol
I wanted to win and accomplish something and I have only begun!
I was the First African American to get th title. [Which alot of people got offended by when it appeared in the Journal, but I'm proud]
Tyler Paul Meneely has been the biggest help through it all by driving me around all over high heaven [Erie Co Fair Everyday that week, Waterford Fair, and Albion Fair]
I hope to get the fair more exposure and helping raise money so our fair can be back on top!
The state Competition is in January and I will be competing against none other than my good friend Rachel Cox (Sparta Queen), love ya girl, I wish her and the rest the best of luck.
A final note would be to thank everyone that has helped me especially Mrs. Sue Nolan, who dealt with me calling everyday for information if I was doing something right! And a thank you to my Grandpa Harry Burrows who ran the fair for 60 years, I hope he is looking down proud.
Thanks for Reading!!!
