Congratulations to 2026 Fairest of the Fair Olivia Lois!

I was born and raised in Elkhorn and graduated in 2023 from Badger High School. I am about to enter my junior year of college at UW-Platteville, where I am majoring in Animal Science with Pre-Veterinary emphasis. Growing up, I was active in both the Elkhorn and Springfield 4-H clubs, where I took part in a variety of projects including swine, shooting sports, art, and home environment. Throughout high school, I was actively involved in the Lake Geneva-Badger FFA chapter, where I continued the swine project and submitting art projects to the fair. I competed in several FFA events, including the Discussion Meet Leadership Development Event and Vet Science, Livestock Evaluation, and Equine Evaluation Career Development Events. I was honored to serve as a Vice President on our officer team for two years and earned my State FFA Degree shortly after my high school graduation. I’m currently looking forward to receiving my American FFA Degree this October in Indianapolis! At UW-Platteville, I stay busy as a member of the Women’s Club Volleyball Team, the Pre-Veterinary Club, and the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society. My goal is to become a Large Animal Veterinarian and continue advocating for the livestock and agriculture industry, something I am incredibly passionate about. The Walworth County Fair holds a special place in my heart. It’s where I’ve made so many amazing memories over the years. I’m excited to help promote all the hard work exhibitors put into making this fair such a special and unforgettable event!

I have grown up in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, constantly being around agriculture. Currently, I am majoring in Agricultural Education at UW–River Falls, with the goal of becoming an agriculture teacher and FFA adviser. While growing up, I stayed involved in 4-H, where I exhibited many different projects at the fair. Some of them include dairy cattle, dairy goats, photography, home environment, woodworking, flowers, and more. During high school, I was heavily involved in FFA, where I held various leadership roles and went on to receive my Wisconsin State FFA Degree. Currently, at UWRF, I am a member of the Sigma Alpha Sorority, where I hold the role of social chair. Throughout my experiences in 4-H, FFA, and now in Sigma Alpha, I have learned lifelong skills that have proven useful—even as I work toward becoming a teacher in the future. The fair has held a significant role in my life for as long as I can remember, and I hope it’s clear how much commitment and love I have for the Walworth County Fair!
