Congratulations to the Isabella County Youth & Farm Fair on a terrific fair week! Thank you for making us feel welcome in our first year on your beautiful fairgrounds - and for ordering up a week of terrific weather!
As fair week comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on what an incredible week it has been and to say thank you to so many who made it possible.
A huge thank you to our fair board, superintendents, leaders, committees and MSU extension who dedicate countless hours behind the scenes to plan, organize, and support every detail of the fair. Your commitment is what keeps this tradition strong year after year.
Thank you to our auctioneers, ticket takers, car parkers, and all of the volunteers who generously give their time to keep everything running smoothly.
A special thank you to T.J. Schmidt & Company for bringing a great midway experience that added so much excitement and fun for families all week long.
To all of the buyers who supported our livestock, small animal, and still exhibit auctions, thank you for investing in our youth. Thank you to our sponsors, whose generosity helps make so many parts of the fair possible. We are truly grateful for your continued support.
To the parents, grandparents, and families who spend countless hours encouraging, teaching, hauling trailers, caring for animals, and cheering from the sidelines, thank you. Your support and dedication are a big part of what helps our youth succeed.
To our community—thank you for showing up, filling the stands, walking the grounds, and supporting every event. Your presence is what brings the fair to life.
And most importantly, thank you to the youth. You are the heart of this fair, and your hard work, sportsmanship, and enthusiasm make all of this worthwhile. You give us every reason to look forward to doing it all again next year.
