Ladies in the Lead this week we meet two outstanding high school seniors, Cadence Hansen and Molly Chapman. Both 9 year 4Her's, both representing Cedar County as our Fair Queen, and both finishing up their last Cedar County Fair 2023.

I love how this conversation centers around things coming to an end. The last time in the ring, the last set of goals, and all the feels that go with it. It's surprising how it hits each of them differently.

Both Cadence and Molly have big plans ahead; off to college and sights on what's to come. When I ask them, "What's your legacy going to be?" they each thought of others. How they hoped to be an influence and inspiration for young girls just getting started.

But as this chapter closes don't think they are done! Molly is off to the State Fair to represent Cedar County as the 2023 fair queen. Cadence, well she's got a heifer that is on fire this summer. She just represented Cedar County at the Regional Show Best of the Best, won showmanship honors, and has her sights on State Fair! The ladies have worked hard, been consistent, made friends, and created a community that supports and loves them. I'm honored I've been a part of it!

So let's get started, enjoy this last ride and meet this week's Ladies in the Lead... Cadence Hansen and Molly Chapman.
