Book excerpt: First held in 1849 in Detroit, the location of the Michigan State Fair rotated in the early years between Detroit, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, Adrian, Jackson, Grand Rapids, East Saginaw, Lansing, and Pontiac before settling permanently in Detroit. When Detroit department store magnate Joseph L. Hudson sold 135 acres of Woodward Avenue farmland to the Michigan State Agricultural Society in 1905 for $1, the permanent home of the Michigan State Fair was established. On February 12, 2009, Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm signed an executive order effectively ending a 160-year tradition--the Michigan State Fair.

Book excerpt: "The Michigan State Fair is a traditional event held at the end of summer to experience and showcase the pride of the Great Lakes State - its agricultural importance, its livestock, and its homebased products. The Fair also gives residents the occasion to partake in pie-eating contests, win best-in-class awards, enjoy cotton candy and hand-shaken lemonade, ride a double Ferris wheel, play carnival games, and be entertained by the famous. From 1905 to 2009, this yearly festival was held at the Detroit Fairgrounds at Woodward Avenue and Eight Mile Road. For those generations who attended the Fair at that locality, its buildings, exhibits, and events guaranteed a special day. Who can forget the Coliseum where the Detroit Mounted Police performed amazing drills? Or the Community Arts Building where talented Michiganders displayed their creative works? Or the Music Shell where performers like The Supremes and Dolly Parton entertained the crowds? This book is a historical tribute to those Fairs held at Detroit's Michigan State Fairgrounds. The architecture, the giant produce, the livestock, the Midway, and the excitement every kid relished before heading back to school. Based on countless hours of research, this book covers the story of the Michigan State Fair as well as the Fairgrounds itself. It also dives into the historical detail of the Fairs that took place between 1959 and 2009 - the daily events, the contests, and the most popular performers at the Music Shell. While the Michigan State Fair continues its tradition of fun, food and entertainment at other locations, this book serves as a benevolent testimony to the memories made by earlier generations at the Detroit's iconic Fairgrounds."--Back cover.
