With Spring in the air and summer right around the corner, I am definitely staying busy with my queen duties. Varsity Softball season has also started for me and that is also keeping me pretty busy! Earlier this month I've attended the Juniata Valley Lions Club Annual Dinner and meeting. I gave a Farm Safety 4 Just Kids demonstration and also talked about the PA Friends of Fairs program. Then I was fortunate enough to attend the Huntingdon County Holstein Association yearly banquet. I got to speak about my recent activities, enjoy a wonderful meal, and listen to what's all happening in the Holstein Association. Then it was time for a visit to the Spring Farms Livestock 4-H Club. There I got to talk about my Farm Safety 4 Just Kids platform and all of the wonderful opportunities I've been able to have as the Huntingdon County Fair Queen. We then played a few games and I handed out prizes and informational pamphlets. Then a week after that I attended the monthly Huntingdon County Fair Board meeting and boy are things for the 2011 fair really coming together thanks to our amazing fair board and wonderful volunteers. I encourage any girl out there ages 16-20 to run for Huntingdon County Fair Queen this year. It's an amazing experience and you will gain so much from this opportunity. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at (814) 251-3209 or email me at maurand@verizon.net and I will be happy to help you.
Until Next Time,
Marra A. Aurand
2010-2011 Huntingdon County Fair Queen
