Carmen Sieren of the Dutch Creek Flyers 4-H Club was named the fair queen Sunday night, while Bailey Sieren was named first runner up, Taylor Sublette was named second runner up and Anna Nafziger was named Miss Congeniality.

Carmen shares how it feels to be named queen, “It feels pretty great. There’s definitely a lot of really great girls and I’m just really grateful that I had this experience.”

Carmen is the daughter of Jason and Katherine Sieren, and is entering her junior year at Mid-Prairie High School. She gives words of appreciation upon earning her title, “I would definitely like to thank all of the girls and my family and everyone that’s helped me get here.”
