Thank you for a great 2023 Crawford County Fair!
Thank you for your interest in being crowned Crawford County Fair Queen!
We are looking for a young lady that will represent our fair as an “ambassador” of the PA fair, farm, livestock, and agricultural industry. Someone who understands and can speak to the fact that livestock products make up about 69% of Pennsylvania’s yearly farm income, that the top crops are hay and corn, and that the state ranks first nationally in the production of mushrooms, producing approximately 443 billion pounds annually! Agriculture keeps Pennsylvania going and offers many exciting career opportunities in STEM and agriculture-related areas. The Crawford County Fair has promoted and highlighted agriculture and the youth of the county at 76 fairs and counting!
