Fun at the county fair

The Oakland County Fair’s proximity to the Fourth of July and some inclement weather kept some fans away, but about 80,000 still filled Springfield Oaks County Park last week.
‘It went really well, a great week for the kids,? said L.C. Scramlin, general manager.
About 1,000 animal and agricultural exhibits were submitted, an increase over previous years, Scramlin said.
Planning has already started for next year’s fair, set for July 14, 2009, he said.
‘We renewed the contract for the circus ? everyone liked that,? he said.
