Northeast Missouri Teen is This Year’s State Fair Queen

A northeast Missouri teen is this year’s State Fair queen. 17-year-old Elsie Kigar is from Scotland County.

Part of the contest included her giving a speech called “Making Lemonade: When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.”

In 2020, when Scotland County did not have a traditional fair, Kigar says she had to figure out what to do with her homegrown 4-H show steer.

This is the first year Kigar entered the contest.
