To the parents, teachers, and the neighbors next door that do so much to provide us with such a quality group of young ladies who compete in the Kane County Fair Princess Pageant; to the many volunteers who gave so many hours of their time to make the Princess Pageant such a success; to Aunties Flowers and Things for the beautiful flowers provided for the winners; and to the Kane County School District and Mr. Shirl Spencer and his staff for providing us with such a beautiful facility for the pageant, we thank you all. The 1999 Kane County Fair was truly a success. If you attended, we thank you. If you didnt, you really missed a great fair.
