Loved the photos - the repetitious cutlines, not so much. Would like to see animals and other entries.

Lovely. Makes me miss the Michigan state Fair all the more. Loved the livestock, especially the Clydesdale horses.

I was disapointed when I heard some of the exhibits of crafts like all the needlework and such was not displayed very well. There was a POW/MIA afghan there that was just folded up and no one could tell what it was. I would have thought at least it should have been folded so people could tell what the afghan was. And I am sorry but I thought that was a little disrespctful to all the men and women that never came back. Just my opinion. Hopefully next year the display can be a little better.

A carnival ride shadow falls on the horse barn at the Chelsea Community Fair, And that is a problem. Kids are trying to compete in a horse show with rides blaring and lights flashing right next to them. It is not uncommon to see the horses bolt or rare up.
