It was a weekend full of blue ribbons, livestock shows, and community pride as the Kenosha County Fair wrapped up another memorable year — and one of the brightest highlights was the crowning of Emily Maxon as the 2026 Kenosha County Fairest of the Fair.

Maxon’s coronation was among the most celebrated moments of this year’s fair, a beloved annual tradition that brings together families, 4-H members, farmers, and neighbors from across the county for days of friendly competition, entertainment, and good old-fashioned fun.

The Kenosha County Fair also announced its 2026 Junior Fair results, recognizing the hard work and dedication of young participants who competed in a wide range of agricultural and skill-based categories. The Junior Fair is a cornerstone of the county fair experience, giving youth an opportunity to showcase months of preparation and earn recognition from their peers and community.

Photos from the event, published by the Kenosha News, captured the energy and excitement of fair-goers enjoying the festivities — a visual testament to how deeply the Kenosha County Fair remains woven into the fabric of local life.

The fair is more than just a competition; it is a celebration of the agricultural heritage, community spirit, and homegrown talent that make Kenosha County a special place to live. Congratulations to Emily Maxon on her well-deserved honor, and to all the Junior Fair participants who made the 2026 Kenosha County Fair one to remember.
