Food and Farm Michigan State Fair
FILE - In this Aug. 25, 2006 file photo, Tyler Neal, 11, of Bellevue, Mich., left, and Austin Anderson, of Hastings, Mich., show off their muscles while waiting to show their cattle at the open showing at the Michigan State Fair in Detroit. Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm canceled the fair, saying debt-ridden Michigan could no longer afford to subsidize it. Granholm's decision makes Michigan the only Midwestern state and one of few nationwide without a state fair. The Michigan State Fair had been a state tradition for 160 years.
