We appreciate MDARD's continued commitment in supporting youth programs, livestock agriculture, and community connection across the Upper Peninsula and throughout Michigan.

The UP State Fairgrounds isn’t just a summer destination, it’s a year‑round resource hub for agriculture education and the community. ​

While it hosts the hottest summer fair north of the bridge, it also supports hundreds of youth exhibitors, agricultural producers, and families who participate in events throughout the year, including livestock shows, educational clinics, fundraising events, and community gatherings. ​

This May, MDARD awarded the fair a grant to help replace the roof on the beef barn. ​

"This investment will have a direct and lasting impact on the U.P. State Fair and the entire Upper Peninsula region" said Executive Director Vickie Micheau, "We are incredibly grateful to MDARD for recognizing the importance of maintaining agricultural infrastructure in the Upper Peninsula and throughout Michigan."
