Chickasaw County Fair Queen, Emma Brincks, and alternate, Luella Reicks, came to FES today to read Christmas stories to each classroom. Students had a chance to ask them questions about how they are serving their county. Then, they handed out candy canes to the students. Thank you for visiting FES today and for being excellent representatives of Chickasaw County!
