The Iowa State Fair begins this week and Anna Pence is representing Washington County in the queen contest. Pence shared she’s been meeting with community organizations since being crowned last month at the Washington County Fair, her first ever pageant. She adds she’s been getting ready by practicing questions for the interviews from who she’d be as a Disney princess to politically based questions. The 2016 Iowa State Fair queen will be crowned Saturday evening in Des Moines. For the full interview with Pence visit KCIIRadio.com.
