The Fairest of the Fair serves as the official ambassador for the Jefferson County Fair, promoting its educational, agricultural, social, and cultural opportunities. Throughout their one-year term, they represent the Fair and related events across Jefferson County and beyond, participating in parades, festivals, community gatherings, radio interviews, and various activities during the Fair. The term begins on coronation night and concludes at the following year’s coronation.
When the Wisconsin Fairest of the Fair program began in 1965, multiple counties were recruited to join in. Our first record of a Jefferson County Fairest of the Fair begins in 1978 with Tammy Johnson (Kielbasa). In 1992, the Fairest program officially became an established and cherished tradition of the Jefferson Fair. Children look up to them, exhibitors value their advice, and everyone benefits from their friendly and knowledgeable presence.
