The Marion County Fair Queen will join her counterparts in Des Moines Saturday to compete to become the 2021 Iowa State Fair Queen. After the state contest was cancelled last year, Ella Jahner will represent her home county with the opportunity to represent the state for the remainder of the fair. Judging is based on personality, attitude, leadership, citizenship, contribution to community, overall appearance, charm and poise. Jahner looks to join Lacy Stevenson of Knoxville as the 2nd ever Iowa State Fair Queen from Marion County; Stevenson won the crown in 2010.
