Cassie Kujansuu served as first-runner-up. She is the daughter of Jan and Bob LaFave of L’Anse.

This year’s Friend of the Fair honor went to longtime volunteer and current Baraga County Commission Chair Gale Eilola. Eilola grew up on a farm near the fairgrounds in Pelkie…

And when I was seven and eight years old, I asked my parents, “well, can I bring my animal to the fair?” And the said, “well, no, you’re not nine years old, yet.” So, when I became nine, we brought my animal down here, we walked it from the farm all the way down, and that was my first year. And I have never missed this fair.
