The UP State Fair is pleased to announce that the Wellness Fair will be returning to the UP State Fairgrounds this year.
This year’s Wellness Fair will be held on Wednesday, August 14th (Senior Day) in the Activities Tent from 11am to 2pm. The theme of this year’s Wellness Fair is “Piecing Things Together to Become a Healthier You.”
The Menominee Delta Schoolcraft Community Action Agency is hosting the Wellness Fair and asks interested vendors to call (906) 786-8850 or pick up an application at 225 N. 21st Street and mail it along with a $40 table fee (includes a table and two chairs) to Wellness Fair, PO Box 752, Escanaba MI 49829. Applications and payment are due by July 15, 2024.
Vendors will receive two fair passes per day for their paid table. Additional passes may be purchased for $5 each. Vendors will receive one parking pass for their paid table for a designated parking spot. Designated parking is first come, first served.
Guests are also invited to bring door prizes to be given away as giveaways, and at this year’s Wellness Fair, attendees will receive signatures or stamps from various organizations and vendors to indicate they visited their tables in order to be entered into a prize drawing.
“We are excited that Community Action Agency will be bringing back the Wellness Fair this year in the activities tent at the UP State Fair,” said Vicki Michaud, local managing agent for the UP State Fair and board member for the Michigan Fair and Exhibitors Association.
“After visitors pay their fair admission fee, they can enjoy great activities like a wellness fair, featured entertainment and lots of other fun activities under the activity tent. Fairgoers can spend the day, but are best off spending the week celebrating agriculture and community.”
The UP State Fair is Michigan’s only continually running state fair, and this year’s fair runs from Monday, August 12th through Sunday, August 18th.
“On behalf of the UP State Fair Administration, I would like to thank Community Action Agency for sponsoring the Wellness Fair, our sponsor Island Resort and Casino, and all of our generous sponsors for their continued support of the UP State Fair,” added Michaud. “We are looking forward to a fantastic UP State Fair this year! This year’s week-long event is sure to be amazing, so be sure to save your dates from August 12th through August 18th!”
