That photo sparked something in her. Call it what you will — a dream, a hope, a wish, a desire — to one day wear the crown and sash and reign over the fair. “I just remember meeting her that day,” she said, sitting in a room in the State CommunicationsFairground’sBuilding, her headquarters during the 18-day run of the fair. “Without even seeing that picture, we just found the pic ture the other day, I knew exactly what I wore that day. It was just a vivid“Frommemory.thatpoint forward, I always wanted to be the State Fair Queen. I never really knew what she represented. I just knew at that point that she had a pretty crown. That was enough for me at that time.“But when I came to the State Fair more and more, I got to tour the fair and it meant more and more to me to be the queen.” That was 10 years ago. In 2020, McKillip was crowned the Wabash County Fair Queen. Her desire to be the State Fair Queen was nearly derailed, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because the fair was canceled, local fair queens from that year competed with queens from fairs that took place in 2021 with a chance to reign over this year’s fair. Part of the pageant took place vir
The Queen’s duties As State Fair Queen, McKillip has various required events she must attend. During The Paper of Wabash County’s visit with her on Wednesday, Aug. 10, her schedule was fairly light. She had just three events she had to be at. The rest of her day was spent strolling the fairgrounds to meet the public.“This afternoon we’re heading over to Pioneer Village; they’re doing the lifetime pass ceremony,” she said, talking about what that day would entail. During the ceremony, she present ed lifetime passes to eight individu als who had a major impact on the fair throughout the years.

tually in January. Then in April, the contestants gathered in Indianapolis for the second portion of the event, this one in person. “I would say the whole moment after hearing my name was surre al,” McKillip said. “I don’t think it ever, really sunk in because there were so many girls that day. When you’re competing with over 100 con testants, you can’t possibly think that any of them were less than out standing. They were all very talent ed and very motivated to do well in the competition. Just to make the Top 16 was just incredible. “Then to hear my name called and see my family come up to the run way, overjoyed, it was just so surre al.”She said she thought her virtual interview went well, “but then you had a few months to take a break and think about your interview in April.”“Itwas just a great experience overall.”

Advice for others McKillip won the Wabash County title in her second attempt at the pageant. She first entered in 2018, then sat out the 2019 pageant due to other commitments, returning in 2020.She doesn’t know if sitting out one year “made a tremendous difference.”“Ithink it’s important to continue practicing, especially interviews” she said. “It’s always a good idea to stay sharp on those skills.” A young lady must be at least 18 years of age to be eligible to place in the top 16 with the possibility to be crowned the Indiana State Fair Queen. However, those under 18 are still eligible to compete. “My first year, in 2018, I was not Cont. on Pg. 7.
She also spent some time in an area she is quite familiar with – the livestock“Peoplebarns.arealways really happy to see the queen in the livestock barns,” she said. “But I was a swine showman, so that’s what I enjoy. There are kids in there whose mouths gape open when they see theThat,queen.”McKillip said, makes her reign worthwhile. “I was asked the other day if I was a real princess,” she said. “I said, ‘I think so.’ Then she said, it was a little girl, ‘I thought princesses were only in fairy tales.’ It was really sweet.”She’s also visited the various display areas, such as Momma Town, an area where various animals and their litters are on display, and the World of Speed, an area dedicated to Indiana’s role in the automotive industry. This year’s fair theme is “Fun at the Speed of Summer.”
On Wednesday, she chatted a few minutes with characters standing in front of the Ghostbusters’ car in the World of Speed. She also tried her hand at changing a tire at an Indycar pit stop display. McKillip also got to attend a ghost hunt in one of the fairground buildings.“They invited in a group, they have a TV show called ‘Paranormal X Road’ and they set themselves up in the Indiana Arts Building, and my aunt and I went to check that out on Saturday evening,” she said. “Apparently that building is haunted. I never knew that, obviously. But there are resident ghosts that live in there.“Idon’t know if I believe in ghosts or not. I feel if I had my own encounter with one, then maybe. But, some of the things they encountered it is hard not to believe. They were able to connect with family members of some of the people there. I don’t know. It’s just hard. I have a lot of questions about that.” The taste of the fair Donning her crown and her sash –she has three sashes from which to choose – she began her walk around the fairgrounds. Her first stop was going to be one of the many food booths where she and her escort for the day, 1992 queen Pam (Nash) Dobbin, were to have a quick lunch. This day’s fare – pickle pizza. She has gotten to sample an ample amount of fair food the last two weeks.“Ilove the ‘Mac Diggity Corn Dog,’ she said. “It’s a corn dog with pulled turkey on top and mac and cheese on top of that. “Whenever we would come to the State Fair with my family, we would always go to the Dairy Bar or the pork tent. We really didn’t venture out. So, it was my goal this year to try the fair food and review them on Instagram to help promote them.”

She will relinquish her title in January during a three-day event in Indianapolis when she crowns the new“Thequeen.girls will be here for three days, like it normally is held” she said. “I had the chance to meet some of the queens throughout my summer travels, and I’m excited to get to see them all come together and get to know one another, because that’s the one thing that we really didn’t get the chance to do, given that our whole competition was in one day. “You really didn’t get to know the girls all that well. You kind of were just meeting the girls who were in your dressing room, the ones who were standing there in line waiting to get on the stage.” McKillp said she spoke briefly with Olivia Dale, the 2022 Wabash County Fair Queen, during her visit to the Wabash County pageant. “I know she is a very talented girl who will do great,” McKillip said. She said it would be wonderful to be able to pass the crown to another Wabash County resident. Having a queen from the same county in back-to-back years has only happened one other time in the 62-year history of the “Vandenburghfair.County won in back-to-back years,” she noted, “so that would be pretty cool.”
Among her appearances will be during the Roann Covered Bridge Festival when she rides in the annual“Thatparade.is something my family does every single year, since it’s so close to home,” she said. “I’m excited to be back with people that I know, be with family, and be in that parade.”Shealso had a Randolph County teacher reach out to her, asking her to speak to his fourth grade class. “So I might have a few experiences that pop up that makes the last day of the State Fair a little less bad, because I have some other things to look forward to, as well,” McKillip said. “But at that point, it won’t be promoting the State Fair. It will just be celebrating my reign.”
Of course, not all fair food is the same. McKillip readily admits the Mexican street corn wasn’t among her favorites. “I don’t like mayo,” she explained, “and it had a lot of mayo in it. But I’ve heard a lot of people like it.”

the fairgrounds. Following that, she was off to the Free Stage where she spoke to the crowd attending the concert by country singer Trace Adkins.Notevery day is as light as Wednesday was. “I’ve gotten to meet the governor,” McKillip said, recapping some of the things she did during the first eight days of the fair. “I’ve got to judge the U.S.A. Mullet Championship. That was funny.”

Another of her favorites was the cow pie, and ice cream sandwich made with two chocolate chip cookies as the outer portion and a scoop of ice cream between. She and her mother, Toni, shared one earlier in the“Wefair.tried to break it apart – we each didn’t want a whole one – we tried to break it apart, but that wasn’t going to happen. It’s very, very yummy at the ribeye tent.”
The Queen’s escorts Throughout her reign, McKillip has an escort to help her on her ventures around the fairgrounds. The escort is responsible for keeping the queen on schedule for her various appearances.Theescortalso helps by taking photos of the queen and the various people she meets throughout the day, as well as keeping her company during her walks. Among her escorts were 1991 State Fair Queen and former Wabash County resident Bobbi (Leckrone) Bates. She also had 2014 State Fair Queen Alyssa Burns. “I’ve gotten to spend time with some family,” she continued, adding that Julie Echard, the Wabash County Fair Pageant Coordinator, also was down one day. “It’s kind of a variety. It’sa good mix. It’s fun.” McKillp said she enjoys her time with past State Fair queens. “I get to hear about what their fair was like, what their experience was like,” she said. The future McKillip’s duties during State Fair ends on Sunday, Aug. 21. The next day she begins her junior year at Butler University. But her work as queen – she is considered an employee of the Indiana State Fair – doesn’t end when the fair does. She has a few more visits to make, “mainly just to celebrate my reign.”

A good friend of mine unexpectedly lost his wife. A cou ple months later we were golfing togeth er, chatting about nothing. He asked what my dinner plans were and I told him wifey wanted my home made chili and cornbread, but I didn’t feel like stop ping at the store. We golfed a few more minutes when he quietly said, “Make the chili.” It took me few minutes to real ize we were no longer talking about dinner. It was about going out of your way to do something for someone you love because of any moment, they could unexpectedly be taken from you. So today I’m sharing with you that wis dom handed to me by my dear friend, that I’ve thought of many times since that day. Next time someone you love wants you to go for a walk or watch a football game or play a board game or just put your phone down and give them your undivided atten tion, just do it. “Make the chili”.
