Dickinson County Fair wraps up 115th year

NORWAY, Mich. (WZMQ) – Monday rounded out the Dickinson County Fair, held each Labor Day weekend for the last 115 years.

The final day kicked off with the tractor pull, gathering farmers and families from surrounding areas, showing off their engine skills in various weight classes, all with commentary by Senator Ed McBroom.

“I think everybody enjoys having the holiday to close out the summer,” said McBroom. “It’s really special that the Dickinson County Fair has claimed this weekend for a century, and it’s just a great part of the heritage here.”

Throughout the holiday weekend, the weather turned around for those last few days of the season. The fairgrounds were also in smooth condition, after extending its accessibility last year.

“We put in a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of blacktop last year to make it more accessible, which has been well received,” said Dickinson County Fair Board Member, Tom Bedard. “The weather has also cooperated this year, and a lot of people showed up to support their fair.”

Hosting on Labor Day brings in the whole family, as the fair has many discounts to offer. The Dickinson County Fair Board says the community support follows through each year.

“It started out as a community supported function and it still is, that’s one thing that’s never really changed,” said Bedard. “We do a discount on rides and a discount on entrances, so a lot of people with larger families come on Labor Day. Today, it’s only $1.25 per ride, and you can’t find that anywhere else but here.”
