SPRINGFIELD – A soon-to-be college junior studying pre-veterinary is your hostess at the 2024 Illinois State Fair.

Morgan County’s Natalie Evans is part of a family which raises Red Angus cattle. “I have been coming to the state fair for many, many years, but this is the one that I am most excited for,” said Queen Natalie. “I always love seeing the infamous butter cow and going to Conservation World. But now I am excited to see the new Coliseum, I am excited to go to the rodeos and see the amazing acts that are happening at the Grandstand.”

The fair runs Aug. 8-18.

Evans attends Murray State University in Kentucky.
