Morgan Roe
My name is Morgan Roe. I am 19 years old. I graduated from Pueblo County High School in 2023. I am currently in school for Business and Marketing. During my high school career I was in FFA, and during my senior year I was Reporter for the Pueblo county chapter. A fun fact about me is that I love all things photography. I started my photography business when I was 16 by taking pictures of my grandma’s cows. I plan on using my skills to help the Foundation with photography, marketing, and social media outreach. I am looking forward to working with the Foundation.
trina Tucker
Hi my name is Trina Tucker, and I am one of the interns for the Colorado State Fair Foundation! I have been heavily involved in 4-H and FFA, so I am very excited to be working in with everyone at the fair! I am currently 19, and I graduated from Pueblo County High School in 2023. I am now attending Pueblo Community College for EMS studies. Recently in January of 2024, I got my National Registry for EMT and have now have a chance to start my career at AMR! I am very excited to be working with the Foundation and being able to be apart of the CSFF.
Tate Mcclure
My name is Tate McClure, and I am excited to be an intern with the Colorado State Fair Foundation. In the fall, I will be starting my undergraduate studies at CSU Pueblo. I am looking forward to eventually having a career in music and possibly business. The Colorado State Fair Foundation will help me learn and apply skills in leadership, organization, and communication. As an intern, I will be able to connect with the youth of the Colorado State Fair and draw them into the Foundation with possible leadership opportunities.
Abigail Bennett
Hello! My name is Abigail Bennett! I am a Rye High School alum. During my high school career, I was heavily involved in FFA and the Colorado State Fair. After high school, I attended Northeastern Junior College where I received my Associates Degree in Agriculture Education. After NJC, I transferred to West Texas A&M University where I recently graduated from with a bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Science, with a certification in Ag, Food and Natural Resources, to teach 7th-12th grade. I have recently started my career at Fowler High School, where I am the new Agriculture Science Teacher and FFA Advisor. I am so excited to be involved in agriculture and FFA on a whole new level. Last year, I interned for the Colorado State Fair Foundation and loved getting to be a part of this great organization. I am excited to be back for the fair and to help out in the VIP Clubhouse this year!

What's in it for me?
The Ambassador is an unpaid position, while the Intern is a paid position. As an Intern or Ambassador, you will gain experience in collaboration, organization, and education. You will learn the purpose of the Colorado State Fair Foundation and be able to help youth grow in their communities.
