2024-25 Clark County Fairest of the Fair Candidates: Ruby Kilmer

Saturday, July 20th, 2024 -- 12:00 PM

The Clark County Fairest of the Fair competition is just a few weeks away.

The crowning of the Fairest of the Fair is happening Wednesday, August 7th at 7pm in Dairy Show Arena at the Clark County Fairgrounds. I had an opportunity to speak with all seven candidates vying for the position including Ruby Kilmer sponsored by Fairbridge Inn and Suites in Thorp. She’s going to be a Sophomore at UW-Stevens Point for Early Childhood Education. Ruby discussed why she decided to run for Fairest of the Fair.

"I was Miss Thorp this previous year and I really had a lot of fun doing it. So, I wanted to continue and try this and also Devani said it would be really fun to try. So, I took her word on it and decided to try it. I think getting the experience from doing this is all I can really hope for. I think it will be really fun to get to know more people compared to Miss Thorp as it was just a small part of Wisconsin. With Clark County you can do more."

Again, the 2024-25 Clark County Fairest of the Fair will be crowned Wednesday, August 7th at 7pm in the Dairy Show Arena at the Clark County Fairgrounds. We’ll hear from another candidate tomorrow.

Outgoing Fairest of the Fair Devani Hinkleman offered some advice for this year’s candidates: “Honestly, something I wish I would have known more before I went into is how important it is to actually soak up those moments and every event you go to, just take it in. Because this year has, honestly, flown by way faster than I thought it was going to. And it’s just something that you just need to take that time, soak it in, and enjoy every moment.”
