Koch Named 2013 Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 01/10/2013

Wisconsin's 47th Fairest of the Fairs is Steffani Koch from Dodge County. The Mayville native was crowned Wednesday night in Wisconsin Dells after competing against 41 other contestants for this year's title. As Fairest of the Fair, she becomes the spokesperson for the Wisconsin Association of Fairs, where she will travel to many of the state's county, district and state fairs this summer. The winner also serves as the official hostess of the Wisconsin State Fair each year.

A senior in college, Koch transfered to the University of Wisconsin-Madison this year from UW-River Falls to complete her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. She hopes to practice veterinary medicine focusing on the dairy industry.

Steffani enjoys exhibiting dairy cattle at state and international shows, playing volleyball, traveling and singing. She is an alumna of Mayville FFA, and participated in the UWRF Dairy Club, Pre-vet club, and Chancellor's Student Ambassadors.

Koch replaces outgoing Fairest of the Fairs Richelle Kastenson from Union Grove in Racine County.

Meanwhile, Bailey Quam of the Lodi Agricultural Fair was named first runner up, with Leah Christenson from Polk County being second runner-up. Juneau County's Brianna Huebner was third and Erika Soukup, Manitowoc County, was fourth runner up.

The judges for this year's competition were Rae Nell Halbur, who was also selected as 'Friend of the Fairest,' along with Ron Oleheiser and Terri Wilfert.
