Royal recognition ...

As part of the Allamakee County Fair each year, area “royalty” is recognized along with the announcement of the Allamakee County Fair Royalty Team that serves in various capacities throughout the fair and throughout the next year. During the Thursday evening, July 9 performance of The Caminos at this year’s modified Allamakee County Fair due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the local young ladies pictured at right were recognized for the service they’ve provided to their various organizations as their 2020 royal representatives. Pictured above, left to right, are Allamakee County Beef Queen Soraya Reyes, Miss Iowa Angus Allie Bieber, Iowa Miss Teen United States Agriculture Diana Davison, Allamakee County Alternate Dairy Princess Kaylee Gibbs, event emcee Laurie Wild of WQPC Q94 Radio, Allamakee County Dairy Princess Faith Palmer, and 2020 Allamakee County Fair Royalty Team members Madelyn Moser and Shara Cota. With no Allamakee County Fair Queen being crowned this year due to the Iowa State Fair being canceled and not holding its own Fair Queen contest, both Cota and Moser served as this year’s Allamakee County Fairy Royalty Team.

Photos and results from livestock shows and other events at the 2020 Allamakee County Fair will be printed in a Fair Recap special publication in the July 22 edition of The Standard.
