2022 Rising Star Award

2022 Rising Star Award

Brittany Moon - Cumberland Fair

Brittany Moon from Cumberland Fair was selected as the 2022 MAAF Rising Star.

Introduced by Union Fair’s Ryan Soule (2021 MAAF Rising Star with Brittany in photo
above) at the MAAF annual banquet, Brittany has been an important part of her home fair
from a very young age. As a 4-H member, Brittany moved from a young girl eager to help at her fair (regardless of the task) into a seasoned mentor educating youth and adults alike about the origins of their food.

Brittany Moon received a MAAF Scholarship as a 2012 high school senior which helped her graduate from UNH. Currently she is employed in the Education Department at Pineland Farms in New Gloucester . This year-round program engages visitors of all ages in the areas of local natural history and agriculture. Additionally, Brittany and her family are well known exhibitors at a number of Maine fairs, including Cumberland as well as Windsor, Fryeburg, Ossipee, Topsham and Skowhegan.

A recommendation written on her behalf states: “Brittany Moon grew up in 4H and has always been an inspiration to be admired. As an adult, she has continued to be inspiring as a leader. An amazing young person who will brighten everyone’s day !”

Congratulations to Brittany Moon !
