Emily Klootwyk, of Knoxville, was named the 2012 Marion County Fair Queen on Saturday night. She was one of nine young women that competed for the crown. They were judged on characteristics such as personality, poise, and community involvement. Klootwyk will have a couple of weeks as she begins to take part in all the fair activities. She’ll also take part in the Iowa State Fair Queen competition. The Marion County Fair officially gets underway Friday. KNIA/KRLS will be broadcasting live from the fair all week.
