county fairs

The Kent County Youth Fair kicks off today, Monday, August 8, running through Saturday the 13th with fun for the whole family. There will be animals, rides, great entertainment, fair food, everything for everybody, at the fairgrounds in Lowell.

One of Michigan's oldest fairs kicked off Monday in Marne. Everyone can check out agriculture and craft shows while catching a ride or a show throughout each day of the week long festival.

Fun times in Lowell next week, because the annual Kent County Youth Fair will be at the Lowell Fairgrounds beginning Sunday, August 4 through Saturday, August 10.

There's nothing like the smell of Elephant Ears and the buzz of kiddie rides.
