Raised on my family’s fourth generation grain farm, I am definitely a country girl at heart. I enjoy riding horses, mudding, and playing the guitar. From the tiny town of Patoka, famous for our farmland. I am sponsored by Tune Trucking and Fast Stop…Contestant #2, Dana Wright.

​

Here from Iuka, I am Madalyn Jones. Remember that name because one day it will be in lights. With a passion for fashion, I aspire to walk the runways of the world but tonight I’ll proudly walk the runway at the Marion County Fair. Here tonight because of my sponsor of Rod Snow Real Estate. I am contestant #3 Madalyn Jones.

How do you mend a broken jack o’ lantern? With a pumpkin patch. (pause) Speaking of which, did you know Illinois is the largest producer of pumpkins? Now you do! Later on you can thank me for that fun ag fact! I am contestant #2 Lisa Rowcliff of Salem proudly sponsored by Karen Moken at Edward Jones and The Rusty Nail.

​

The economy is growing and soon, I am going to be a part of it. When I am finally ready to take on a career it’s going to be in business. The title of CEO is my dream. You’ll be seeing me soon on Shark Tank seated next to Mr. Wonderful. Coming to you from Sandoval and sponsored by Kim’s Party Jumps. I am contestant #4 Sadie Cain.

​

Putting a little bit of my Taylor-ed twist on everything that I do. That’s how I stand out and make a lasting impression. As a future designer, I love being creative and sewing. Influencing my generation that volunteering never goes out of style and giving back is always in fashion. From Centralia and sponsored by McDonalds and EFI, I am Taylor Stewart.
