Ashley, the daughter of Greg and Julie Jamerson of Effingham, was crowned Miss Effingham County Fair this past August. If she wins this weekend's pageant, she will reign over the 2017 Illinois State Fair and DuQuoin State Fair.

Best of success also to the Effingham County Fair Talent Search winners Grace Hoene, the daughter of Rich and Stacey Hoene of Effingham, who won the Junior Division, and Lynzie Hagen, daughter of Kurt and Tara Hagen of Watson. They will compete on Saturday for an opportunity to perform at this year's Illinois State Fair.
