News : Benton County Fair Queen Bio: Olivia Hanson

My name is Olivia Hanson and I live just outside of LaPorte City, Iowa. I am the daughter of Robert and Maureen Hanson and I am the 5th of 6 kids in my family. I am a proud member of the Bruce Boosters 4-H club and the LaPorte-Dysart FFA Chapter. Through 4-H I have been involved in static projects, communications projects, livestock projects and the Benton County 4-H Livestock Skills team. I am also on the Benton County 4-H Youth Council and have enjoyed helping with the planning of the 4-H Night at The Grandstand event at the Benton County Fair. In FFA, I have served as my chapter's co-reporter and President and I served at the 2023-2024 Northeast District Reporter. I am a graduated senior of Union High School where I proudly served as class president and student council president. This fall, I plan on attending Iowa State University to double major in Agricultural Education and Agricultural Communications. The Benton County Fair has always been one of my all-time favorite weeks of the year, and I am excited and honored to be running for Benton County Fair Queen.
