The event included a live auction by C. Sherman Allen of Crawford County and the presentation of the PA State Association of County Fair's Junior Fair Person of the Year - Emory Bewley from the Harford Fair. Anna Haldeman, representing the Manheim Community Farm Show, was selected as the 2022 PA Fair Queen. Rebecca Williamson, representing the American Legion County Fair, was selected as the 2022 Alternate. This was a proud milestone event for both fairs - the first time for Manheim to have a state queen, and the first time for American Legion to have the Alternate. The other finalists included Emma Musser from the Elizabethtown Fair, Elizabeth Bruner from Indiana County Fair, and Jenny Crowley from the McKean County Fair. Crowley was also selected as Miss Congeniality by her contestant peers. Haldeman is the daughter of Kyle and Kristen Haldeman of Manheim, PA. She is currently a senior in high school. She is President of the FFA chapter, a co-captain of the rifle team and a member of both the National Math Honors and National Art Honors Societies. Both Haldeman and Williamson will spend the year promoting fairs as the showcase of agriculture and tourism and building greater public understanding and awareness of their importance in Pennsylvania. The PA Fair Queen is available for appearances at fairs and other agricultural events. All appearances must be requested in writing. Please message us with any requests.

The early start will give racers enough time to still catch races at S...tateline, Genesee, Woodhull, etc. We want teams to get a chance to get more laps on track and allow our staff to get more comfortable with their positions.
