Kalamazoo County is taking a pass on holding its annual county fair in 2025.
A study to help determine the future of the Kalamazoo County Youth Fair is underway, according to Kalamazoo County Commissioner Jeff Hepler. The feasibility study, which is being conducted at a cost of $100,000, will take into account a number of factors before a recommendation is yielded later in the year, Hepler said.
In the absence of a county fair this year, MSU Extension officials who service Kalamazoo County said consideration is being given to a showcase event featuring a 4-H-only option.
Welcome to MAGAland. First suspend, then earmark $100,000 for a “feasibility study” to be overseen by the department opposing the fair, from the government entity that has not financially supported the fair for several years.
