Hello, my name is Natalie Salkowski and I am so excited to be the 2010 Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs! This past year I served as Fairest of the Fair for the 150th Ozaukee County Fair. I am 20 years old and the daughter of Dave and Nancy Salkowski. My brothers are David, age 21, and Alex, age 17. My entire family has been active in the Town and Country 4-H club ever since we were small. Being a first generation family in the club, we learned a lot of things very quickly. I have enjoyed many projects through the years; with my favorite projects being cake decorating, pygmy goats, leather craft, and knitting. Through my years in 4-H I have also been an active member of the State 4-H Drama Company from 2005-2008. With this group I have performed at the State 4-H Youth Conference as well as at the Wisconsin State Fair.

I am currently a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. I am majoring in Biology and minoring in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Broad-Field Science as well as pursuing a licensure in Coaching. I hope to become a high school science
teacher and coach high school football. On the UW-GB campus I am a member of the
Alcohol Task Force, Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society, and the Community Apartment Board. Along with all of these organizations I also work as a Resident Assistant in the upper-classmen apartments and teach kickboxing and weightlifting classes at the gym on campus.

I cannot wait to represent the Wisconsin Association of Fairs throughout the state this summer. Also, don’t forget to come visit the 2010 Wisconsin State fair August 5th through the 15th. You don’t want to miss it!
