The Michigan State Fair featuring The Great Safety Adventure
Safety Rangers show students common dangers inside The Great Safety Adventure.
Aug. 21st – Sept. 1st
The Nation's Oldest State Fair was officially first held in 1849, only twelve years after Michigan attained statehood. At the onset, it was customary, in fact, for the fair to be held one year in one city, the next year in another, and there was always a hot contest to be the city selected. The Michigan State Fair settled down at the present fairgrounds in 1905.
The 2008 Michigan State Fair offers a variety of great learning opportunities, including The Great Safety Adventure – an interactive children's exhibit created by the Home Safety Council and sponsored by Lowe's. The Great Safety Adventure has crossed the country to educate children and their families about home safety.
