2010 Iowa County
Fairest Of The Fair
Torrie Tibbits
Hello! My name is Torrie Tibbits. I am extremely honored to serve this year as the 2010 Iowa County Fairest of the Fair! I am the daughter of Bob and Connie Tibbits. I grew up on our family farm outside of Mineral Point where we raise sheep, beef cattle, and chickens. I graduated from Mineral Point High School in 2007 and I am currently attending the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, where I will be a senior this fall majoring in Elementary Education with a double minor in Inclusion (Special Education) and Early Childhood Education. Over the years, 4-H and FFA have both played a very important role in my life. I have been an active member of the County Line 4-H Club and Mineral Point FFA Chapter. Through 4-H, I have been an Iowa County 4-H Ambassador, a member of the Iowa County 4-H Livestock Judging Team, a 4-H camp counselor, and an exhibitor at county and state level. In high school, I was an officer and member of the Mineral Point FFA Chapter where I had the opportunity of working with many new people and keeping my interest in agriculture alive and strong. Through 4-H and FFA I have had the chance to promote these two great organizations. I look forward to meeting many of you at the various community events taking place this summer and hope to see you all at the 154th Iowa County Fair. |

Melissa Doyle
Hi! I'm Melissa Doyle, and I am truly honored to serve as the 2009 Iowa
County Fairest of the Fair. I am the daughter of Mike and Cindy Doyle, and I
grew up on our family livestock farm in rural Mineral Point. I graduated from
Mineral Point High School in 2007, and am currently attending the University
of Wisconsin-Madison, where I will be a junior this fall. I am double majoring
in Agriculture and Applied Economics and Agriculture Journalism, and would
someday like to obtain a law degree specializing in Agriculture Law.
Over the years, 4-H and FFA have both played a very important role in my
life. I have been an active 4-H member since joining the Jonesdale Jays 4-H
Club in early elementary school. Through 4-H, I have been an Iowa County 4-H
Ambassador, the Vice President of the Wisconsin 4-H Youth Leader Council, a
member of the Iowa County 4-H Livestock Judging Team, a 4-H camp counselor,
and an exhibitor at the county and state fairs. In high school, I was also an
officer and member of the Mineral Point FFA Chapter, where I was involved in
many local, state, and national events. By participating in these
organizations, my passion and dedication to the agricultural industry
continues to grow every day!
I look forward to meeting may of you at the various community events taking
place this summer, and hope to see you all at the 153rd Iowa County Fair.

2008 Iowa County
Fairest Of The Fair
Jillian Weier
Hello, I’m Jillian Weier and I am delighted to be the 2008 Iowa County
Fairest of the Fair. I am the daughter of Mark and Sarah Weier, and I grew up
on our family dairy farm just outside of Dodgeville. I will be a junior this
fall at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, majoring in Agribusiness.
In 4-H I showed at the county and state levels in Dairy, Ceramics, Drawing
and Painting, and Photography. My summers growing up were spent working on my
projects with the anticipation of exhibiting my hard work at the fair. I was
also highly active in my school’s FFA chapter and Iowa County Junior
Holsteins. The opportunities provided through these organizations allowed me
to meet many new people and discover my passion for the agricultural industry.
I hope to meet many of you during the summer at community events and I can’t
wait to see you at the Iowa County Fair!

Fairest Of The Fair
Stephanie Paull
Hello, I’m Stephanie Paull and I am honored to be the 2006 Iowa County
Fairest of the Fair. Since this year is the Iowa County Fair’s 150th
Anniversary, I feel even more privileged to hold such a title. I am the
daughter of Bruce and Donna Paull. I have grown up on our family dairy farm
just south of Ridgeway. I have been an exhibitor at the Iowa County Fair since
I was in kindergarten and first became a member of 4-H. Since then I have
become involved in 4-H at not only the local, but also the county and state
levels. I have also been active in many clubs and organizations through
school, including FFA. Through my involvement on my family farm, 4-H, and FFA,
I have decided to pursue a career in agriculture. In the fall I will be
attending the University of Wisconsin Madison with Agribusiness as my major.
Again I am honored and privileged to be the 2006 Iowa County Fairest of the
Fair. To be able to take part of such a huge milestone as the 150th
Anniversary of the Iowa County Fair is an experience of a lifetime that I’m
glad I get to experience.

2004 Iowa County
Fairest Of The Fair
Andrea Dolan
Andrea is a Dodgeville High School Graduate who is now
in her second year at the UW-Platteville majoring in Animal Science with
dairy emphasis. Upon graduation she would like to work in nutrition or
for a genetic company focusing on the dairy industry. Andres has been
involved with many activities at the fair over years in 4-H, and now
realizes how important it is to become involved. Andrea believes that
county fairs need more promotion to increase attendance. "Most
people in the community don't realize how much work young children and
adults put into all their fair projects."
