COLUMBUS — On an evening when “Happy Happens Here” was the theme, a 10-year 4-H member fit right in.

Madelyn Steinwedel, a June graduate of Columbus East High School, beamed as she was crowned Bartholomew 4-H Fair queen during the annual pageant Sunday in Columbus North’s Erne Auditorium.

“I’m so excited. This doesn’t even feel real right now,” Steinwedel said as she posed for photos with her new court.
