Episode Details

Elizabeth “Izzy” Jones, a proud Salem native and Gateway Tech student, has been crowned the 2026 Fairest of the Fair in Kenosha County — a tradition spanning 53 years and awarding a $1,000 scholarship. Stepping into the role after last year’s winner Abigail Kuester, Jones brings deep roots in the fair community and a mission to connect with everyone, from local families to visitors. First runner-up Sarah Nelson, headed to UW-Whitewater for business, shares the same spirit of community and representation. Together, these young leaders embody the fair’s heart — blending pride, purpose, and passion as they carry on a legacy that celebrates local culture and youth engagement.
