MASON, MI — The Ingham County Farm Bureau announced a $100,000 donation to the Ingham County Fairgrounds. According to a press release, while the gift is an unrestricted contribution to the Fairgrounds, leadership has designated the funds to support construction of the new covered grandstand, helping restore a central gathering place for Fair Week and year-round events.
“We are deeply grateful to the Ingham County Farm Bureau for this generous gift,” said Michael Yanz, President of the Ingham County Fair Board. “Their contribution advances our effort to rebuild a safe, accessible grandstand that will benefit youth exhibitors, families and the broader community for generations.”
The Fairgrounds has been without a grandstand since 2016, when the original structure was removed for safetyreasons. The new grandstand will seat 1,382 guests and include restrooms and a concession area. The project isfunded through a mix of federal & private sources; this donation helps close the gap and accelerate construction.
