The
Georgetown Fair Family is extremely pleased and very proud to dedicate
the 2008 Georgetown Fair to Miss Molly Reeves, 2007 Miss Georgetown

the Illinois Association of Agricultural Fairs convention. She
will reign over the Illinois State Fair, the DuQuoin State Fair
and all county fairs throughout the state during the 2008 fair season.
Molly is a beautiful young lady. She is beautiful in her physical
appearance and even more beautiful and admirable in her approach to
life. She is an outstanding young person who has an eye on a
dream for her life. She has the fortitude, charm, determination,
dedication to purpose and the intelligence to chart a course for
herself to live her dream. The Georgetown Fair family is
absolutely thrilled for Molly and her family and we are so very, very
proud of her. She honors us with her representation of our fair.
Congratulations Molly! Thank you from all of us. Even
though Molly is officially “Miss Illinois County Fair,” she
remains Miss Georgetown Fair in the hearts of our fair family.
2008 PREMIUM BOOK
DEDICATION
Past Georgetown Fair Queens
The Georgetown Fair family dedicates, with pride, our 2008 Premium Book
to the 48 ladies who have served our fair as Miss Georgetown Fair
through the years.
Our first queen was crowned in 1960. Since then, 48 ladies from
13 different communities have served as Miss Georgetown Fair.
Miss Georgetown Fair represents our county fair and the ideals for
which all county fairs stand. The responsibilities of the queen
range from public service to representing our fair at community and
area activities. Miss Georgetown Fair has worked with many people
young and old, from presenting trophies at the fair, reading to school
kids, visiting the VA and working on the annual MDA
telethon. Appearances at other county fairs, parades and key
community events are a few of the many activities throughout the year.
The highlight is representing our fair at the Illinois
Association of Agricultural Fairs Annual Convention and competing for
the title Miss Illinois County Fair Queen. Miss Georgetown Fair
has had many individual awards at the state pageant, top 10 finishers,
runners up and this year won the title Miss Illinois County Fair
Queen.
These 48 ladies are to be commended for their hard work and dedication
on behalf of our Fair during their reign. Each of these girls
brought a personal and unique touch to their role of Miss Georgetown
Fair. Each left their mark as our queen and each in her special
way made our fair better during her reign. These ladies have gone on to
be excellent citizens, wonderful parents, and even fair directors.
Thank you ladies! We are proud of each of you and wish you and
yours peace and happiness in your life.

2008 Recipients Karen Thornsbrough and Jill Pope
“If you think you can, you can. If you think you
can’t, you are probably right.”
This anonymous quote perhaps encapsulates the philosophy and attitude
which Jill and Karen implore in their roles as Georgetown Fair Queen
Pageant directors. These women workaholics in their directorship
of the queen pageant for our fair, are positive in every aspect of
their preparation. Their dedication, determination and work ethic
create and produce each year a pageant more spectacular, more stunning,
and more beautiful than the previous year. The pageant setting
creates an atmosphere that enhances the talents of the contestants and
fosters a feeling of cohesiveness and togetherness among the girls.
Perhaps the greatest attittibute which Karen and Jill contribute to the
queen pageant is the pride, the love, the cooperation, the guidance and
friendship shown the new queen and her court each year as they begin
fulfilling their role as fair royalty.
Congratulations Karen and Jill and thanks for all you do for our fair. |
