(Des Moines, IA) — August has been a busy month for an 18-year-old from northern Iowa who’s also the reigning Iowa State Fair Queen. Mary Ann Fox of Osage was crowned the queen of the Mitchell County Fair on August Third and ten days later she won the 2022 State Fair Queen contest. Despite the double wins, she does not consider herself a pageant person — saying she just wanted to promote her county, her background, and agriculture. Fox graduated from Osage High School this spring. As state fair queen, she has been awarded eight-thousand dollars in scholarship money, which will come in handy when she begins classes Monday as a freshman at Iowa State University. Fox says she’ll be majoring in ag engineering.
