Did you ever see the movie “Despicable Me?” One of the best scenes in that movie was when adorable little Agnes saw the fair grounds off in the distance. Her un-bridled glee is how I now forever view fairs. And, with summer weather comes the fair! Many of them. Games, stuffed animals, rides, real live animals, tracker pulls, and all kinds of entertainment.
If you want to channel your inner-Agnes, there are many county fairs happening in and around the metro Detroit area:
