Banks is a five year member of the Lucky Liberty Lopers 4-H club.

Annabelle will assist with the distribution of ribbons and trophys to the 4-H members while serving as an ambassador of the Plymouth county fair. She will represent Plymouth County at the Iowa State Fair Queen Contest. Annabelle says of the upcoming event, she is not certain if she will win, but she is certain it will be fun.
