This diamond in the rough is full of potential, with the purchase of 175 acres back in the summer of 2003, contiguous to the existing fairgrounds on the east end.
Students from Michigan State University have designed plans, as a project
for their education, with input from the general public and neighbors of the
fairgrounds. All that is needed now is time and money. Future plan ideas for the new fair property include walking nature trails, primitive camping, open fields for fun, games and picnics, gardens and some new buildings.
The Board of Directors and staff are very excited at the thought of being able to expand in the future onto the new property.
If you haven't had the chance to visit the Calhoun County Fairgrounds, you might be suprised at all that can be found including historic buildings and
special events throughout the year.
