Hello Patricia,
"If you see the President, tell him from me that whatever happens there will be no turning back."--[General Grant]To journalist Henry Wing at the Battle of the Wilderness.
I was an interpreter at 'Ellwood' when I lived in Virginia. Union Headquarters during the Battle of the Wilderness. If we can't go 'through them' we will go 'around them' - but we will get there - 'No Turning Back'.
A letter to the 'President', er - Governor (Rick Snyder), from you,'via the press' could help.
Will you do it?
Pressing on, with (a lot of) unwavering faith, your obt.svt.,

Karen and Others,
Thank you for keeping me in the loop about the State Fairgrounds discussion. I want to apologize for not being available to provide further assistance and support. I continue my belief that an Annual State Fair can be conducted at the corner of Woodward and 8 Mile in conjunction with any other developments that might be undertaken at that location. As I have stated in the past, the financials attributed to the Fairgrounds are not what the politicians have put forth when they decided to close America's Oldest State Fair!!
This is especially true for the financial activities associated with the 2 weeks of the Fair. On average, the Fair took in nearly $4 Million Dollars each year! The cost of putting on this historical event generally amounted to about $3 Million Dollars annually. The financial challenges associated with the Fairgrounds, involved the increased costs tied to being a State Agency and the more than $300,000 charged annually by the City of Detroit for "rain water run-off" and water usage.
Sustaining/Re-establishing the Michigan State Fair can and should be accomplished without taxpayer assistance. All we ever advocated for was the opportunity to operate outside the burdens of State Government and continue the family-oriented event center that can be a financial engine for Detroit and the State of Michigan!
Please let me know if I can be of assistance from afar.
Steve Jenkins
