Come one, come all to the Green County Fair from July 22nd to July 26th, at the Fairgrounds in Monroe, Wisconsin.
My name is Whitney Disch, and I am the 2015 Green County Fairest of the Fair. All summer I have been traveling across the county promoting the 161st Green County Fair, and I had an absolute blast! From riding around in parades to handing out information about the fair at local events, I had a pleasure meeting all the wonderful people of Green County, all while being an ambassador for the fair I grew up showing at.
