Simply the best of the fair

Simply the best of the fair - 08/22/06 - The Detroit News Online:

"Whether you're an animal adorer, adrenaline addict or cotton candy connoisseur, there's something for everyone at this year's Michigan State Fair.

Those interested in the furry, feathered and feline can check out the animals at the Miracle of Life, the Outdoor Zone or the livestock barns. Looking for something to get your heart pumping? Look no farther than the huge midway, which is chock-full of new rides sure to make your stomach flip. And, as always, there are food booths aplenty.

While the midway and the food might cost you a little cash, there are plenty of free things while you're inside the fair. Check out big-name concerts such as Ginuwine and Twisted Sister for free in the Band Shell, or watch lumberjacks compete in the Great Lakes Timber Show."
