Celebrate the 100th Year of the Northwest Michigan Fair August 3 – 9

Goin’ to the Fair, Goin’ to the Fair, Goin’ to the Northwest Michigan Fair. I’ve been hearing that banjo jingle for as long as I can remember. It’s like the chicken dance, you just can’t get it out of your head. So with 100 years to celebrate they’ve decided now it’s time for an upgrade. You can vote for the best version of the song from now until August 1st. The winner will be announced on TV 7&4 News at 5pm on August 1st. Watch their videos on the news then vote for your favorite on the TV 7&4 website here.

 

But the fair is much more than a jingle. It’s proud children exhibiting for 4-H. It’s amusement rides and cotton candy to entertain the child in us all. There are animals of all kinds to pet, ride and learn about. There’s the demolition derby, tough trucks, concerts, Bingo and even a queen’s coronation. Everyone loves a good county fair, and the Northwest Michigan Fair is one of the best.
