Midland County Fairgrounds

We went to the Snowmobile Swap Meet last night and attempted to come in the Eastman Rd. Entrance where there was permanent roadside signage that indicated fairgrounds parking. Traffic was heavy when we were finally able to make it into the fairgrounds we were told that we were at the wrong entrance for the swap meet. When I said that there needs to be more signage I was told there was a sign out on Eastman Rd. by Bennigan’s. So we went back out to Eastman Rd., traffic was still insane, but we finally made it back to the road they wanted us to use, which was Airport Rd. We saw the sign that the staff member told us about and there would be no way you could have ever seen it because of the amount of traffic and because it was only about 11“x14″. If you are going to have an event at the fairgrounds and you have open gates sell the tickets otherwise, you look mismanaged and unprofessional.

We were antique-​ing on Sunday!
The Fairgrounds held it’s annual (I think anyway) Antique fair.
This place is HUBUNGOUS!!!
Every time we took a turn… saying… «We’ll go up this side, then swoop back down the other side and then go that way» We would see another lane of goodies… and then get all messed up. I think we saw everything though. It took roughly 3 hours to scan through all the booths that were set up.
It’s the first time I had been to anything like this… as far as antiques go.
There were a lot of booths that had the same things… mason jars… china tea-cups…but then there were the other rare vendors who had something special!
Very fun way to spend the day! I say go!
