Jessica Graves, 17, is the senior representative of Zane Trace High School. She is the daughter of Steve and Stephanie Congrove of Kingston.

At Zane Trace Jessica is involved in FCCLA, FFA, Leadership class and varsity softball. In the community she volunteers at Adena Regional Hospital, donates items for the Humane Society, makes care packages for the military and makes blankets for Childrens Hospital's neonatal intensive care unit.

After high school Jessica plans to attend Ohio State University for a four-year term and receive a degree in nursing. She plans to stay active in her volunteer work.

If Jessica could invite anyone to Pumpkin Show she would invite her Grandpa Parker, who passed away this past March after a long battle with cancer. Jessica says he would be proud of her and wouldn't miss it for the world.

One of Jessica's favorite memories of Pumpkin Show was when she was in junior high school and she and her girlfriends got to go to Pumpkin Show without their parents. They rode all the rides and ate pumpkin pie and drank hot chocolate.
