Could the Michigan State Fair rise again?
Some supporters hope so, with the help of the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority.
The authority's board plans to consider a proposal next week in which the state would lease the historic fairgrounds at 8 Mile and Woodward to the regional parks system for $1 a year. The park system would agree to develop the property into a year-round park and continue the nation's oldest state fair.
Might pave the way to make Belle Isle a Metropark as well -- though I would much rather see it run by a Conservancy.
