A Conversation with the Weld County Fair Royalty

I recently had the opportunity to speak with the Weld County Fair royalty, Avery Loveland (queen 2022-2033) Katie Holcomb (Weld County Fair Attendant 2022-2023) and Laura Stephens (Weld County Fair Attendant 2022-2023). Here's what they had to say about the fair:

• Avery Loveland: "The Weld County Fair is a celebration of agriculture and community. It's a great opportunity for people to learn about where their food comes from and to see the hard work that farmers and ranchers put in."
• Katie Holcomb: "We don't have a large carnival, we don't have a lot of rides or concessions, w e like to focus on the 4-Hers and their projects and livestock. We focus more on agriculture and not necessarily the fun rides."
• Laura Stephens: "Our biggest role is mostly to advocate for agriculture… and to showcase what we do and get more people to learn about 4-H and FFA."
