Fayette County Beef Queen Participates in the State Fair

       Ashley Skaggs, the 2008 Fayette County Beef Queen, recently participated in a food demonstration at the Ohio State Fair. Many different commodity groups had the opportunity to demonstrate how to prepare a dish in the Taste of Ohio Café, also known as the food pavilion. She assisted Jackie Murray of J & J Concessions and Catering of Xenia in how to prepare Ranch House Barbequed Brisket. The demonstrations feature the “Ohio Proud” program which is dedicated to the promotion and support of Ohio Farmers. The recipe they prepared and many others can be found in “Ohio’s Heartland Cookbook” which can be ordered through the Ohio Department of Agriculture by calling 1-800-IM-PROUD or logging onto www.ohioproud.org.
         Skaggs participated in several other activities during the State Fair including assisting at the Ohio Cattlemen’s food booth and volunteering at the Ohio Cattlewomen’s Store. She also had the opportunity to assist Emily Brinkman, the 2008 Ohio Beef Queen, during the Junior Market Beef show on Saturday August 9th and at the Prospect Steer & Heifer show on Sunday August 10th. In addition, Skaggs exhibited in the steer portion of the Prospect show garnering a class winner with her March born steer “Andy”.
        As part of her reign as the Fayette County Beef Queen Skaggs has been visiting various local grocers to promote the beef industry. Look for her in the meat department of your local grocery while doing your weekly shopping.
