As a child, Jennifer Haddock idolized Warren County Fair queens.

"I dreamed of being the queen as a little girl," she said Monday night, minutes after she was crowned the 2009 Warren County Fair queen from among nine contestants.

"I am so excited," Haddock said. "I look forward to being an example to little girls."

Haddock, 17, received her crown from the 2008 queen, Rebecca Fowler.

The nine-year 4-H member, said the fair will take on a new meaning this year.

"I am going to have fun," she said.
