Box 223 Mancelona, MI 49659 Phone: (231) 533-8818 Fax: (231) 533-8392 May 2016 To the friends and supporters of the Antrim County Fair: The Antrim County Fair invites you to come and experience our “Homemade or Homegrown” family style fair. There is always lots of livestock, from rabbits and chickens, to goats, pigs and cattle. But don’t forget the horse show, dog show and all the still exhibits. Our three-day schedule honors senior citizens, veterans, and families. We are excited to offer the third annual 5K Run this year, as both a fund-raiser and a fun, healthy event for Fair Week. Don’t miss our new Pork and Side Restaurant Cook-Off, and the Lego Build and Race. We’ll also offer an activity tent, children’s games, a cake walk and bingo throughout the three days, making every day a new adventure for young and old alike. The Fair would not be possible without strong community support, and funding from Antrim County. We appreciate our volunteers, guests, and everyone who helps make our fair a success year after year. We have great things to share at the Antrim County Fair this year. Bring your family, bring a friend and don’t miss this wholesome family entertainment opportunity that is like no other. Sincerely, Crystal Swain, President Dear Friends, Welcome to the 2016 fair season, a family-centric entertainment staple which pays homage to our rich agricultural heritage. Millions of Michigan residents and tourists attend county fairs every year, which are an annual family tradition for many. These events are wonderful opportunities to experience Pure Michigan at its finest. There is much to be excited about in Michigan agriculture today and our county fairs are part of that growing enthusiasm. I am proud of both Michigan’s 4-H program and the tremendous accomplishments of our FFA peers. Thanks to Michigan’s local and county fairs, our youth have the opportunity to showcase their hard work while educating fairgoers about the state’s food and agriculture industry. There are tremendous career opportunities to explore in a variety of areas including biotechnology, microbiology, soil science, metrology and more. Our county fairs are full of local charm and agricultural traditions. This year, be sure to make visiting one of Michigan’s local or county fairs part of your summer travel plans. Sincerely, Rick Snyder Governor MSU Extension P.O. Box 427, Bellaire, MI 49615 (231) 533-8818 [email protected] Mission Statement The Antrim County Fair provides an important annual outlet for education, exhibition and demonstration of agriculture, home economics, science and art. It is a recreation based outlet for county residents and visitors to share and display their hobbies and interests with special emphasis on youth. Its goal is to provide a fun and educational experience for all. ANTRIM COUNTY FAIR BOARD The Antrim County Fair would not be possible without countless hours by dedicated volunteers, loyal advertisers, and families throughout the county that appreciate agriculture. The Fair Board works year round to bring you this fun and educational county fair each year. If you see them, please say thank you!
