While some of it has changed over the years, it still retains the feel of a neighborhood event of wholesome entertainment, said fair manager Jeff Adams.

HOWELL WOMAN STEALS CAR WITH DOG INSIDE By Sara Grillo JACKSON – Jackson Police arrested a 29-year-old Howell woman on July 5 after she stole a vehicle with a dog inside outside the Quick Chek on Leesville Road.
