2007 Routt County Fair Queen Kelsey Samuelson sits astride Lightning, a quarterhorse and thoroughbred mixture, Sunday afternoon at the Routt County Fair in Hayden. Kelsey, 17, is about to begin her senior year at Soroco High School, after which she hopes to pursue a veterinary technician’s degree at Glenwood Community College in Glenwood Springs. While Kelsey thought Sunday would be her last day as Fair Queen, she will hold onto the crown for a little while longer — due to judging difficulties, fair officials decided to postpone coronation of a 2008 queen until November.
