Page 4 THE IDAHO COUNTY FAIR 2013 IDAHO COUNTY FREE PRESS ;L 2013 FAIR QUEEN Whitney Sonnen Stories by Lorie Palmer, IDAHO COUNTY FREE PRESS Photos by Cara Uhlenkott COTTONWOOD — “Royalty has pushed me to be a better person. It has challenged me and taught me many lifelong skills that I will cherish forever,” said Whitney Sonnen of Cottonwood. The daughter of Melvin and Joyce Sonnen, she will enter her junior year at Prairie High School this fall. She is the granddaughter of Bonnie Gehring and the late Charles Gehring and Larry and Gladys Sonnen, all of Cottonwood. She has a 14-year-old sister, Laina, and a brother, Paul, 13. She belongs to Keuterville Livestock 4-H Club, also her sponsor, and plays basketball for PHS. She is also a member of Health Occupations Students of America, Knowledge Bowl, Drug Free and Prairie League. She spends her spare time babysitting, as a waitress/cook, farming/ranching and volunteering at the blood drive and serving at parish events. “I have had a great time with royalty and we have had so many great moments such as when my little brother, Paul, who was escorting me the fashion show night, had to dress up. Dressing up in nice black pants and a white shirt must have been a foreign thing to him because he got all bug-eyed,” Sonnen said. “After thinking about it he decided, on the day of the fashion show, that his pants were not suitable enough so he had a family friend pick him up a new pair of pants. Well the family friend misjudged his height and got him too short of pants. He was so nervous, excited and I think partly embarrassed because his pants barely went to the top of his ankles. He was so cute with his smile and red faced that I could not help but smile, but when I saw those pants I laughed so hard I cried. I even think he made the crowd smile that night.” Sonnen did not ever feel she was a shoe-in for royalty, but made the decision to go for it anyway. “I figured that there was little or no chance of me making it, so why try?” she shrugged. “I found that even if your dreams seem unrealistic or impossible, stick with it. You may be amazed by what happens.” IDAHO COUNTY FAIR 1964 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Kathy McDonald 1965 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Elaine Zehner 1966 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Wilma Goeckner 1967 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Linda Wimer 1969 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Sue Crea, Renee Arnzen, Janice Zehner 1970 . . . . . . . . . . . . .Janice Zehner, Adeline Holthaus, Vicki Manning 1971 . . . . . . . . . .Christine Hazelbaker, Eileen Simon, Betty Wemhoff 1972 . . . . . . . . .Mary Jean Sprute, Lark Hazelbaker, Janis Hinkelman 1973 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Judy DeHaas, Elayne Parrish, Donna Simler 1974 . . . . . . . . . . . .Shirley Sotin, Christine Tacke, Becky Kopczynski 1975 . . . . . . . . . . .Virginia Wassmuth, Cheryl Schmidt, Sheryl Wasem 1976 . . . . . . . . . . . . .Valerie Dasenbrock, Paula Sawyer, Rene Jungert 1977 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Teresa Rasmussen, Krista Spickelmire, Carolyn Hendren 1978 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Brenda Hoene, Teresa Frei, Sue Leuck 1979 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Diane Arnzen, Lisa Workman, Sherry Uhlorn 1980 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Kelly Spickelmire, Melanie Fales, Kris Smith 1981 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Lori Arnzen, Gina Frei, Cheri Enneking 1982 . . . . . . . . . .Marilyn Rylaarsdam, Barby Terhaar, Mary Ann Lute 1983 . . . . . . . . .Ramona Schwehr, Cathleen MacGregor, Valadee Rad 1984 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Kim Sonnen, Chris DeHaas, Becky Shira 1985 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Lisa Klement, Karen Carpenter, Chris Hauger 1986 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Jill Rickett, Debbi Shears, Valarie Arnzen 1987 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Michelle Arnzen, Tricia Toennis, Elaine Purdy
IDAHO COUNTY FREE PRESS Idaho County: “Where Dreams Come True” Page 5 ;L 2013 FAIR PRINCESSES FIRST PRIN CESS JACEY ARNZEN GRANGEVILLE — “Representing the Idaho County Fair has been a great experience.

Following graduation next year she plans to attend college and though she isn’t sure what she will major in, she said she has an interest in design. Perhaps that interest led her to helping choose “very poofy” royalty dresses. “One thing that never ceases to make me laugh is our dresses,” she grinned. “This year our dresses are matching formals and are so poofy – I mean huge! We crack up trying to sit down or move around. Once a little girl literally disappeared underneath a dress!” SECOND PRINCESS JENNI FORSMANN GRANGEVILLE — “This experience has meant a lot to me. I have learned so much and have many good memories that will be with me forever,” said Jenni Forsmann, Idaho County Fair second princess.
