I have to make a correction it was supposed to be Davis County instead of Washington in my last post title. I apologize. This past Thursday, my parents and I loaded up the car to head northeast to Monticello, where the Great Jones County Fair is held. Monticello is right off highway 151 and 38. It was about a 3 hour trip for us but completely worth it. Once I got there I was able to see John Harms, a member of the Jones County Fairboard along with the Iowa State Fairboard, it was great to see him as he always has spunk and energy to him like a teenager. John hooked me up with tickets to Jason Aldean as well as meet and greets. ahhhhhhhahhahahah!!! Thank you so much John. Before the concert I was given a tour of the fairgrounds by the past Jones County Fair Queen Kristin Luckstead, who is still one of my good friends that I have stayed in contact from the queen contest. Shout out to her as she is a wonderful young lady and it was so great being able to spend some time together. Along with Kristin, the 2011 Jones County Fair Queen Tara Manternach also showed me around the fair. She has been representing Jones County very well and will continue to represent them at the state level. While touring the fairgrounds we were able to run into some very important people who also represent the Iowa State Fair that were at Jones County Fair scoping out some different things. Those four were Tonya Cook special events director of the Iowa State Fair, Gary Slaghter CEO of the Iowa State Fair, Scott, and Tony. It was good chatting with them and it was great that Tara was able to meet them. Also while going around the fairgrounds were couldn't skip out on the awesome food that is at the Great Jones County Fair. We shared a deep fat fried cheesecake it was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed a very large breaded tenderloin that tasted amazing. Probably one of the best tenderloins I have had. After all the eating and walking around it was finally time for my brother and I to meet Jason Aldean. I decided to take my brother Kirn with me to meet Jason Aldean because he is a huge fan of Jason and Kirns birthday is in August. I don't think I could have given him a better present! You are welcome Kirn I love you. Jason hugged me!!! I was so excited. He was a very nice man and very good looking may I add :) Thompson Square and Chris Young opened for Jason. The concert was absolutely amazing and it even started raining. It was picture perfect. I was so glad that I could make it to the Great Jones County Fair as I was able to see many people that are close to me and that I knew as well as seeing the fair and meeting new people. Thank you to John Harms and the Jones County Fairboard for having me at the fair. I thoroughly enjoyed myself :)
God Bless,
2010 Iowa State Fair Queen
