As a University of Illinois student, Queen Meg
Meeker is studying agricultural leadership and
science education. Meeker earned her associate’s
degree at Heartland Community College after just
one year. Her hobbies include raising and showing
thoroughbred hogs at Illinois state and national
fairs, doing yoga, gardening, fishing trips, and
swing dancing. Meeker also likes to volunteer with
Vacation Bible School and Ag in the Classroom.
Queen Meeker joined by Junior Miss Mott and
Little Miss Park, will reign over the Logan County
Fair attending many events and presentations and
handing out ribbons during the remainder of the
fair. They will also represent Logan County at
various other events during the year, and Meeker
will compete in January for the title of Miss Illinois
County Fair.
As many past queens have said, their experiences
will likely be fondly remembered for years to come.
