Megan Moore of Knoxville was crowned 2018 Marion County Fair Queen on Saturday at First United Methodist Church in Knoxville, with Shaelyn Vanderhart being named runner-up.

Moore tells KNIA/KRLS News she wants to help bring out the best of Marion County by showing the state our sense of community, as we always come together whether it is through the Marion County Fair, Coaches vs Cancer, or Tulip Time we are all one community. Moore will now represent Marion County at the County Fair, and will also compete at the Iowa State Fair August. Outgoing queen Ashlee Dethrow crowned Moore. Kaley Iddings was also a contestant.
