Floral Building Happenings-Ionia Free Fair

06/17/2026

Fair is only 37 days away! And there are so many amazing things happening in the Floral Building this year!!
Currently I am looking for milk crates to create easily manipulated shelving if you have any collecting dust somewhere I'd be happy to pick them up. Thank you!! Looking forward to seeing everyone at the fair.

We have some new events coming up in our building this fair year. Tie dye day is one of them!

We’re looking for sponsors to help cover the cost of around 25 white floral building t shirts so we can truly make this a completely free event! Your logo would be printed on the back of the shirt.

We need around $350 to cover the cost and any additional sponsors will help cover cost of dye material then be donated directly back to the restoration project.

If you’d like to help out, please email Karlee at [email protected] or Venmo but be sure to send us the name or logo you’d like displayed on the shirt.

We can’t wait for the ten best days of summer! More details on this event coming soon.
