2015 Allamakee County Fair Royalty

The annual Allamakee County Fair Queen Pageant was held Tuesday, July 14 at the Allamakee County Fairgrounds Pavilion in Waukon, kicking off the 162nd Allamakee County Fair last week. The three young ladies pictured above were all vying for this year's Fair Queen crown, which was bestowed upon Emily Hammel (center in photo), daughter of Charles and Deb Hammel of Dorchester. Carmen Wille (at left in photo), daughter of Carl Wille and KaLynne Opperman of Waukon, and Megan Leiran (at right in photo), daughter of Steve and Nancy Leiran of Waterville, were each named Allamakee County Fair Princesses, with all three young ladies serving as the Allamakee County Fair Royalty Team throughout this year's fair. Hammel will now advance on to represent Allamakee County in the 2015 Iowa State Fair Queen competition to be held in August in Des Moines. Additional photos of the 2015 Allamakee County Fair will be published in future editions of The Standard. Photo courtesy of ISU Extension Office.
