It also is important to local and corporate businesses who participate and partner with the fair. We hope you take this opportunity to participate in the rich history and bright future of the Fowlerville Family Fair. A representative of the fairgrounds will be following up soon to go over all options available. Thank you in advanced for your support, and we look forward to working with you.
