(2023 ILLINOIS COUNTY FAIR QUEEN PAIGE VAN DYKE)

Sunday marked the end of Paige Van Dyke's reign at the Illinois State Fair as the 2023 Illinois County Fair Queen.

Van Dyke was crowned as the 2022 Miss Clay County Fair, then won the state queen pageant in January in Springfield. 

Our Greg Sapp got to visit with the queen at the fairgrounds on Friday...

After heading back to Oklahoma State University where she is in her senior year, Queen Paige will travel this weekend to begin a weeklong reign over the DuQuoin State Fair.
