ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - The 172nd Allen County fair will be kicking off in a week, and Thursday night they found out who would be ruling over the nine-day event.
At the Allen County Fair Board dinner, Gabi Croft and Jared Shey were selected to be this year’s fair queen and king. Jared’s brother Brady and Cheyanne Peck were named prince and princess.
All of them will be very busy during the fair, not only with their royal duties but with the projects they are taking on. We asked Gabi and Jared what they are looking forward to at this year’s fair.
“Definitely getting to see all of my friends,” says Gabi Croft, 2022 Allen County Fair Queen. “It has been a busy summer coming into my senior year, but fair is kind of the one time all my friends get to come together and hang out.”
“I am just looking forward to see everybody and just getting to represent Allen County the best way possible,” adds Jared Shey, 2022 Allen County Fair King.
The fair board also gave out 11 $750 scholarships to students.
