Dear Fair Supporters,

Welcome to the 2014 Fair!

I hope that as you read your 2014 Fairbook new dreams and plans come to you for projects for the Fair. We hopeto increase attendance from our record 2013 of 110,000. As the showcase of youth in Oakland County, the morethat come to Fair, the more realize how many projects we have at Fair and the great effort that our youth put forthto make their best better each year.

As most have heard by now, the owners of Playworld Midway have decided to enjoy a well-deserved retirement sowe have hired Big Rock Amusement as our new Midway. I think that you will be happy with the new Midway andwe look forward to many years of working together. We will offer the same Mega Pass and hope everyone takesadvantage of this wonderful bargain. Enjoy the rides any time you want and mom and dad don’t have to pay everyday.

We are offering the week long Grandstand Event passes again this year. What a great value.

An important change for 2014 is that Discovery Day has been moved from the first Saturday of May to the lastSaturday of April. So mark your calendars that April 26, 2014 is the day to visit the fairgrounds to participate inmany activities and also this is day livestock projects will be weighed and tagged.

We plan on being better than ever so look over the Fairbook to see if there is something new to enter along withall your present projects.

Please plan to join us on July 4th for the biggest fireworks show we have ever had. I promise it will be a show toremember.

See you at the Fair!

We acknowledge that disqualification will result in theforfeiture of all ribbons, trophies, awards, premiums, entry fees and moneys earned at the livestock sale by the disqualified animals(s). Anydisqualification may affect your eligibility to exhibit at future fairs. If any animal is disqualified after judging is complete, no class placings willbe changed.
